During air frying, they shrink and twist to make your shrunken snacks take on a completely different look than you thought!
You can use any kind of apples that you have — it doesn’t have to be Granny Smith apples / green apples or Red Delicious apples. Use what you have!
If you use a large apple with thinner apple slices, you can get up to 8 dried apple shrunken heads out of them. (Leave the apple peels on!)

Apple Snack Beetlejuice Shrunken Heads
Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- Cinnamon and sugar
- Halloween sugar sprinkles (orange, green, purple), optional
Instructions
- Place apple on cutting board, with the apple stem at the top. Slice a small circle off of one side of the apple (starting at top and slicing down toward cutting board). Set aside. Continue slicing about 1/4-inch thick so that you have round slices. (A large apple will give you about 4 slices until you get to the core.) Turn the apple to the other side, slice of a small round and continue slicing the apple slice like you did before.
- Using a toothpick, "carve" a face into each apple slice.
- Leave some of the carved apple slices plain. Sprinkle some with cinnamon and sugar. You can also sprinkle some with sugar sprinkles (optional) like orange, green, or purple. Set aside.
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F for 2-3 minutes.
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place carved apple slices in a single layer on bottom of air fryer.
- Air fry the apples for 5-10 minutes, depending on your air fryer. IMPORTANT: The plain ones will take less time than the apples covered in sugar. Keep a close eye on your fried apples, checking them every 2 minutes so they don't burn. Carefully remove from air fryer and let cool before eating. Continue airfrying until all apples are cooked.
