Apple Flowers

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Slice off top 1/4 to 1/3rd of the apple.

3. 3

   With small sharp knife or melon baller, carve out the apple leaving about a 1/4 inch or more shell. Be sure it is still strong enough to stand.

4. 4

   Dice the apple top and insides (of course you remove the seeds and stem).

5. 5

   Mix the diced apple, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl.

6. 6

   Roll out your dough to about 1/4 inch.

7. 7

   Use a flower or round cookie cutter and cut a top for each apple. Use a straw to make 3 or 5 holes in the center (so it looks like a flower).

8. 8

   Fill apple with mix and top with flower.

9. 9

   There will be extra mix - if you are doing a bunch you can make a little pie or place in a ramekins and top with the flowers.

10. 10

    Brush tops with water, milk or butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

11. 11

    Place on a sheet and bake in oven for about 40 minutes. Top should be golden and apple soft.
