Floating Candle Apples for Fall Decor

I don’t know about you, but I love to decorate with apples in the fall!   Apples are readily available (just pick up some when you are at the grocery store or farmer’s market), are relatively inexpensive, and they come in several varieties/colors!  Today I want to show you one of my favorite fall decorating ideas using apples:  floating candle apples.

Here’s what you will need to make these floating candle apples

Six (or more) apples

Votive candles

Large, shallow container that will hold water

Chestnuts

To make these floating candle apples, core out the top of each apple.   To make it easy, press the top of the tea light holder into the top of the apple.  Doing this makes an impression in the apple showing you where to cut.  You will need to scoop out some of the apple for your tea light to fit and prevent your apple from cracking.

Fill a shallow, but wide container with water and add the apples with candles.  Today, I used a large, pumpkin-shaped stoneware bowl that I picked up at HomeGoods.  A vintage enamelware basin would also work perfectly!    And, if you are planning to use this outdoors, a galvanized bucket or tub would look amazing!  The finishing touch is to add some fresh chestnuts to the water that will fill in the gaps!

Not only do these floating apples look great during the daytime, but they are incredible at night!  You can use them indoors or out!  I like to make these floating apples for parties in the fall or use them outdoors on Trick or Treat night (with supervision, of course)!
