If you're a lover of apples and swans, or maybe you're having a party and want some interesting snacks to wow your guests, or even just want to have a bit of fun with your food before eating it, then this is the Instructable for you!

Tip: This swan works best with fully red apples, which gives the swan a brighter appearance, and distinguishes the inside of the apple from the outside much more.

Step 1: The Body

In this step we will create the very basics of the Swan's body. Follow the step numbers and the pictures. (e.g. Step 1 = Picture 1)

Cut off a small slice halfway between the edge of the apple and the center line.
Cut again just to the side of the stalk
This is what you should now have!

Moving on to the wings!

Step 2: The Wings

In this step we will make the wings for the swan. Follow the step numbers and the pictures. (e.g. Step 1 = Picture 1)

Cut a right-angled wedge out of 1 side of the apple half, making sure to leave a gap in the middle.
This is what the finished cut should look like
Take the wedge and cut it 2 more times along the dotted lines shown (view the next picture to see what each cut should end up like)
This is pictures of cut 1 and 2
When all of the cuts have been made, slide each wedge about a centimeter and place the wedge back onto the body. It should look something like this.
Repeat steps [1-4] on the other side of the apple to create the second wing
Place both wings onto the body, it should look something like this.

Now onto the head!

Step 3: The Head

Now lets make the neck and head! Follow the step numbers and the pictures. (e.g. Step 1 = Picture 1)

NOTE: You may want to remove the wings for now to make this step easier.

Grab this piece of apple that you cut off in the first step
Cut it like shown in the picture of the left, then again to make the picture of the right
Cut a small rectangular hole the size of the swan's neck in the gap on the body
Insert the neck into the hole
If you did it correctly it should stay right there
Add the wings back onto the body if necessary

Done!

Step 4: Completed!

Congratulations, you just made a quick and easy swan, from just an apple!

i forget if its allowed links and things but when i was in culinary school i recorded my chef teaching us how to make one of these and i thought it would add to help people who are more video or like to see it done by someone and could watch it instead. :)
