The apple swan is an exquisite serving element that transforms an ordinary fruit into a work of art. This decorative dessert has roots in European cuisine, where the aesthetics of presentation play a key role. Lemon juice preserves the apple's freshness, while thinly cut slices create graceful wings. The swan figure is perfect for festive tables or elegant dessert decorations. The apple swan not only delights with its shape but also brings joy with the light tartness and freshness of the fruit. Easy to make, this element enhances the flavor of any treat and adds a touch of sophistication to the presentation.
1
To prevent the apple from browning: mix lemon juice with water.
- Lemon juice: 20 ml
- Water: 1 glass
2
Dip each piece of the swan in water with lemon juice.
- Lemon juice: 20 ml
- Water: 1 glass
3
Wash the apple and cut it into 2 parts.
- Apple: 1 piece
4
Cut a part of the apple at a slight angle. The larger part will be the 'body' of the swan.
- Apple: 1 piece
5
We place the main part on the cut. Visually, we divide the body into three parts: two wings and the back. The parts that will be wings are cut into slices.
- Apple: 1 piece
6
Cut a slightly smaller piece from the 'wing' segment, retreating about 5mm.
- Apple: 1 piece
7
Thus, by cutting slices and then stacking them with a slight offset, we get a swan's wing.
- Apple: 1 piece
8
Form the second wing in the same way. Similarly, you can make a 'tail' on the back.
- Apple: 1 piece
9
Cut something resembling a swan's head from the initial piece of the apple. Use nails for the eyes.
- Apple: 1 piece
10
Make a cut in the 'back' to insert the head.
