Need a quick, natural, and discreet way to enjoy your THCa flower? Making an apple pipe is a timeless, biodegradable trick that’s as functional as it is flavorful. Whether you’re caught without your glass piece or just want to add a crisp, fruity twist to your session, this quick DIY method is perfect for spontaneous creativity and eco-friendly smokers alike.
Here’s how to craft one in just a few minutes.
What You’ll Need To Make An Apple Pipe
- 1 fresh, firm apple (Red Delicious or Gala work great)
- A pen, chopstick, or screwdriver
- A knife (optional, for shaping the bowl)
- Paper towel or napkin (optional, for cleanup)
Step-by-Step Instructions For Your Apple Pipe
1. Remove the Stem
Twist and pull out the apple stem — this will become the starting point for your bowl.
2. Create the Bowl
Use your pen or knife to carve a small, shallow bowl where the stem was. Don’t go too deep — just enough space to hold your flower.
3. Make the Downstem Hole
Insert your pen (ink cartridge removed) straight down through the bowl until you reach the apple’s center. This forms your main chamber.
4. Make the Mouthpiece
On the side of the apple, about halfway down, poke another hole that connects to the center chamber. This is your mouthpiece.
5. (Optional) Add a Carb Hole
On the opposite side of the mouthpiece, poke a third hole into the center chamber. The carb helps you control airflow for smoother hits.
6. Test the Airflow
Blow through the mouthpiece while covering and uncovering the carb. You should feel smooth airflow — if not, gently widen the holes.
7. Load and Enjoy
Pack your THCa FLOWER into the bowl, light it up, and inhale through the mouthpiece while controlling the carb. Enjoy that crisp hint of apple flavor with every puff. 🍏

Pro Tips For Apple Pipe Making
- Choose a firm apple — soft ones collapse easily.
- Avoid poking all the way through the apple from top to bottom; you want the bowl to hold your flower securely.
-
Dispose of the apple after use — it’s biodegradable, easy, and not meant for reuse.
