An Apple flower
This next apple carving is one of my favorites and only takes two minutes to make.
Cut an American-football-like shape at the top of the apple by making 2 simple cuts from opposite directions.
2. Cut a similar shape inside the football.
Note: Although the photo shows these pieces slid outward to create a single petal, it is better to slide them out later on step 5
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 five or more times
around the top of the apple.
4. Between each 2 petals, cut out a single football shape.
5. Spray some lemon on the cut pieces to prevent the apple from browning, fan out the petals and serve.
