Peel 6 red apples, core and halve lengthways. Using a small sharp knife and a melon baller, create different faces and expressions on the apples.

If you are not baking the apples straight away, coat them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Preheat the oven to gas ½, 120ºC, fan 100ºC.

Place heads on a lined baking tray.

Bake for 2 hours or until heads look shrunken.

We used Vimto for its ghoulish look. For an adult version try cider.

Warming up the cider is recommended.

Once the cider is warm, add the heads.
