Carved Apple

Instructions
1. Wash the apples.
2. Begin carving the first flower by creating the center. Make cuts to form the petals and remove flesh from the cuts.
3. With the tip of the knife, cut curved expanded petals around the center and remove flesh from beneath to make them stand out.
4. Around and centered between these carve a circle of pointed petals.
5. To one side and below, carve a second flower in the same way. Then, carve a third to one side and above the second. Continue in this way around the fruit. When done, carve leaves around the flowers.
6. Peel the areas that are not carved and then soak the apple in salt water to prevent from darkening.
