Apple Bunny (Apple Rabbit)
Learn how to make a cute Apple Bunny by cutting the peel of an apple slice to resemble rabbit ears. These adorable little bunnies will definitely brighten your bento!
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 2 cups water
- ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (0.5% salt water for 1 apple)
Instructions
- Cut 1 apple into 8 wedges and remove the core.
- Score a shallow V-shape incision in the apple skin, just enough depth so skin can be removed.
- Run the knife just under the apple peel (as if you peel apple skin normally), stopping at the base of the V-shape. The excess part will come off. If not, score a V-shape incision again until the excess part comes off.
- To a bowl, add 2 cups water and ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt and stir to dissolve the salt. To prevent browning, immediately soak the cut wedges in the salted water for 10 seconds, or until you finish preparing the apple bunnies (you do not need to soak for a long time).
- Adapt the shape of ears and size of apples according to your bento box.
