Do you need documentation by this weekend, or will a word do?
I have three books worth of apple-things, but I'd have to hunt for the
documentation on most of them...

Here's one, though it is more of a craft than a receipe:
Peel apple.
using a sharp implement of destruction, carve a face into the apple.
Mount apple on stick.
Allow apple to dry in the sun.

What you have is a shrunken "head" that was used in poppets of the period.
Doubters can go to a good doll collectors convention, or browse through
all the books in my mothers attic... she's the fanatic on that one.
