Step 1: Trace a tea light on top of apple with a permanent marker
Step 2: Use a sharp paring knife to carve out the circle just deep enough to fit either a tea light or led light. Make sure hole is deep enough to fit in tea light. Use the tea light to push into the center of the apple while carving. Prevent oxidation by dipping your cut apples in lemon juice or sprinkling them lightly with salt. This will prevent them from browning.
Step 3: Slide tea light or led inside for a beautiful addition to your table
