Instructions
- Make the dough: In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pecans, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt.

- Wrap the mummies: Wrap apple slices with dough strips. Place on parchment-lined sheet. Press cranberry pieces on for eyes.
- Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden. Cool for 3 minutes before serving.
