Apple Swan

What do you do when you have an apple and a knife?

Eat it?

Nope, you carve a swan!


This was surprisingly not as complicated as it looks. It took roughly 30 minutes to make, including washing it and taking photos. All you really need is one apple and a knife! Out of a whole apple, I ended up using only 3/5ths of it to make the swan. The rest of the 2/5ths pieces of the apple are leftover pieces you can eat. The eyes are the seeds from the center of the apple (not edible because apparently apple seeds are poisonous). The swan is a bit yellow, though, because I didn't have any lemons at home (lemons help prevent apples from turning brown!) -- so the swan started to brown rather quickly.

Apples have all sorts of health benefits, such as having a high level of antioxidants and fiber while helping to delay and/or prevent disesase. There's a reason why there's the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
