Peel an apple and carve out small eyes, a nose, ears, and a mouth into one side of the apple. Let the apple sit in a sunny, dry spot for 2-3 weeks. When it’s dry and very withered, stick a wooden dowel in one end, halfway into the apple. Cut a piece of fabric or felt as long as the dowel and about 4-5 inches wide. Tie it around the top of the dowel, under the apple head, with a piece of string or yarn so that the fabric or felt opening is in the back. Cut another shorter piece of fabric or felt, and with another piece of string or yarn, tie it around the top of the dowel for a cape, with its opening in the front. If you like, you can glue the fabric together in the back and stuff the apple person with wool roving or fleece. Glue some white or gray wool roving onto the apple head for hair. You can stand your apple granny or gramps in a potted plant or lean it against a window for an autumn decoration. It also makes a fun doll to play with!
