The other day I was at a friends' house for an impromptu dinner while our husbands played video games. Turns out, this family has an apple tree in their backyard, so the other wife and I decided to try our hand at shrunken heads this year. I'm not big on Halloween in general, but this is part decorating, part craft, part food, and I really wanted to try it. We were inspired by ourbestbites.com, because, lets face it, I get all my ideas from that site.
Another side view.
One of mine (again, above) where I tried to give him/her a chin.
I'm not sure I exaggerated all the features enough for them to turn out, but so far I've been treating them to 20 minutes at 100 degrees in the oven every day and then a nice rest in there as the oven cools off. I will post some updates soon!

Why didn't you show me hands-on how to do this while you were here?? I, too, have sooo many extra apples, literally laying around (the trunks of my trees, that is!) More info, please! I want to see how they turn out, so we know if we should add them next year!
