Applesauce and Mrs. Linda!

 We began our week by making applesauce and a visit from Mrs. Linda!
This week, she taught us about love, compassion and generosity by reading about the life of Johnny Appleseed!

I get so into her lessons myself, I forgot to take pictures!  She even brought a pot for her head, just like Johnny Appleseed!!!!  Priceless!

We peeled, cored and cut 14 apples (thanks to our fantastic CNP program for donating them)!

We added a little bit of regular sugar, brown sugar, and a lot of cinnamon! :)

I cooked it on high in the crockpot for 9 hours!!!!  OH MY!  It was supposed to take 4!  I guess our apple pieces were larger than the recipes!?

It was nice and brown from the cinnamon.  I thought that might deter our friends, however it was a big hit and they begged for more! :)

I am sad our apple adventures are over.  But I am excited about our pumpkin adventures and science experiments coming up soon!

With my best,

Happy Birthday Bryn!

Happy Birthday Bryn!  We hope your day was SUPER special!

Apple Fun...

Baking apple pies!

We had so much fun making our very own baby apple pies (don't tell them they are really apple turnovers!)!

Take a picture walk with me...

Ingredients 

Biscuits

Apple Pie Filling

White and Brown Sugar

Cinnamon

Step 1:

Flatten out the biscuit into a giant circle.

Step 2:  Scoop apple pie filling into the middle of our pie.

Step 3:  Fold over the biscuit and press the edges together with a fork.

Step 4:  Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon.

Step 5:  Bake (following can of biscuit instructions).

Step 6:  Enjoy!

Sorry our chart is sideways!   Those friends in the middle only liked the crusts of their pie! :)

We also tasted apple juice and apple cider!

We voted on our favorite!  

During our Apple Fun week we created an Apple Tens Book!

The children had to look at the number and using a stamper make that many "apples" on the page!

Our last apple activity was making homemade applesauce!  Our recipe we followed said cook on high for 4 hours...6 1/2 hours into our applesauce (at the end of the day), it was still not ready!  I had to bring it home, finish cooking, mash and I plan to take it for taste testing tomorrow!  :)

With My Best,
