Step 2: Making the Bowls

To make sure the apple "crust" (outside of the apple) doesn't get dark, add a few drops of lemon juice.
Step 3: Mixing the Filling
Mix all of the ingredients of the filling together. Add to the diced/chopped apple pieces and toss with a spoon. Pour the filling into the carved apple.
