Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 APPLE CANDLESYellow and red apples make a wonderful candlelight decoration forfall entertaining.ToothpickParing knifeMelon ballerVotive candlesSeveral medium-size apples, any colors desiredLemon juiceSet one apple stem side up. Set the bottom of the votive candle overthe stem. With a toothpick, poke holes around the base of the candleabout 1/4 inch apart. This delineates the area to be removed so thatthe candle can fit into the hole.Using a paring knife, cut along dotted circle and straight down aboutthree-fourths of the way into the apple. Do not cut through thebottom of the apple.Using the melon baller, scoop out the core and insides. Trim theopening with the paring knife to smooth any ragged edges. Rub theedges with lemon juice to prevent browning.Repeat procedure with remaining apples.Place a votive candle into each apple. You can place the preparedapples in the refrigerator until you are ready to set them on thetable. This will also help to keep the candles burning longer! Lightthe candles just before guests come to the table. author unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
