Appl-O-Lantern - Try it!

last photo ←

I got the idea from the following Instructable:

Appl-O-Lantern

It is a great "Instructable" and takes about 5 minutes to do! I hope you all take a look at it! I used a xacto knife and a metal tube that was sharpened at the end to carve out the center once the top was dislodged.

Rate, Comment, and Enjoy!

That's great. I once did something similar with a green pepper. However my wife did not think is was that funny since I was supposed to be cutting up veggies for a picnic.

cool pictures, i wish there were some instruction: like what kind of candle do you use for the apple, and how did you hollow it out?

As mentioned in the description, take a look at the original: http://www.instructables.com/id/Appl-O-Lantern/

There you'll find the instructions I used. I personally used an electric "tea light" candle that fit in snugly. Just experiment with a knife to hollow it out, I had a "core remover" type tool for the apple, then just carved the face into it. Give it a go!

Try dipping the apple in lemon juice to prevent oxidization, and I think ,(not sure) it might delay the length of time it takes to turn the inside brown
