Cosmic Crisp® Apple Basket Bouquet

Directions

A fun craft for the kids, these sweet apple “baskets” are filled with fragrant spring flowers to delight lucky recipients.

1. Using a sharp knife, cut off the top inch of each Cosmic Crisp®.
2. Using the melon baller, hollow out the apples, leaving the walls at least ½” thick.
3. Wrap the ribbon around the bottom and up the sides of the apples, leaving about 16” of length on either end so that it’s long enough to tie a bow. Secure the ribbon by inserting the straight pins into the sides of the apples.
4. Tie the ribbon in a simple bow to make the basket handle. Adjust the length as needed.
5. Trim flowers to fit inside and fill the apples. Add water for the flowers before decorating.
