Carved the apple and placed a lit tea candle inside. Left the apple overnight to get a brownish accent around the edges of the apple. Used ambient light from my kitchen.
Wish I had time to carve another apple as I'm not happy with this but not enough time due to another business trip.
A lot of things are wrong here, particularly with the lighting and some annoying dust spots on the black surface I used, but not much I can do with it now due to basic editing rules.
Editing steps:
Convert from RAW in Lightroom
open in CS4
crop
levels
resize
noise reduction
sharpen
color balance
shadows/highlights
border
