    So, prepare the ingredients — and let's get started!

    Step 2

    First, you need to make the scarecrows. To do this, cut the apples in half. Remove the core and peel from each half. Cut out eyes, nose, and mouth. Use your imagination—the scarier, the better! Dip the prepared pieces into a mixture of lemon juice and salt to prevent browning. Place them on parchment paper and bake in the oven at 250 degrees Celsius (482°F) for 2 hours. However, the time may be significantly reduced depending on your oven's capabilities. The main thing is for the scarecrow heads to wrinkle and dry out.
