Apple Taste Test: Gather a few different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and Pink Lady. Have a taste test with your family or friends. Try each apple and describe its taste and texture. Is it sweet, tart, crunchy, or juicy? Discuss which apple you think would be best for making apple pie and why.

Fill each with a small amount of apple filling and cover with another crust. Bake and enjoy your mini creations. Notice how the ingredients come together to make a delicious treat!
Apple Orchard Observation: If possible, visit a local apple orchard or watch a video about apple picking. Observe how apples grow on trees and how they are picked. Think about why it’s important to pick apples carefully and how they are sorted before reaching the store. Discuss what you learned with your class or family.
