These shrunken apple heads were a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had cooked them for a little less time.

The apple heads were easy to make and they looked great, but they were a little bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some spices to the cider.

These apple heads were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a sweeter apple.
