On our spooky creepy journey around Halloween I can’t help but dive deep into the need to bake up a disgustingly delicious treat. There is something about this time of the year where creativity is encouraged and the decrepit has no limits.

This got me to thinking…how can I make something edible that also looks absolutely repulsive? How about make a rotten apple! 
Method:
