Volcano Toast with Apple Slices

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bread
• 2 tablespoons of dirt (chocolate cookie crumbs will work as a substitute)
• 1 cup of water
• 4 small apples, sliced

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Take the slices of bread and cut out volcano shapes using a knife or a cookie cutter.
3. Place the volcano-shaped bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl, mix the water with the dirt or chocolate cookie crumbs to create a thick, muddy consistency.
5. Carefully pour the muddy mixture onto each volcano-shaped bread slice, making sure it flows down the sides like lava.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the "lava" is set.
7. While the volcanoes are baking, slice the apples into thin rounds.
8. Once the volcanoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
9. Serve the Volcano Toast with the apple slices on the side.
