Aside from the obvious, children enjoy making apple prints. Be sure
to cut one apple in half from top to bottom, and cut another in half
across the middle. The kids love seeing the star that is hiding in the
middle! Paint the cut surface, and let the kids stamp out apple prints.

Older children may enjoy science experiments to explore why cut
apples turn brown and what can be done to prevent it. There are a
variety of activities available online if you search “apple activities for
children”.
Of course, cooking and baking with apples is an all-time favorite for
young and old. There are a multitude of recipes on the Internet for
snacks, breakfast, desserts, salads, etc. Here is a simple one to get
you started!

Pink Smoothie Recipe

Yield: Prep Time:
2 (8-ounce) smoothies 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/4 cup frozen cranberries
1/2 a large Honeycrisp apple, sliced (or one whole apple if
yours is small)
1/2 cup Honey-Flavored Greek Yogurt
1/2 a lemon, peeled
1/2 cup carrot juice
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender, and blend until
smooth.

Notes
Make sure to buy the “no sugar added” varieties of frozen fruit.
Use fresh fruit rather than frozen, and just add a handful or two
of ice cubes before blending.

You can also use cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, or apple
juice instead of carrot juice.

So remember to eat your apple a day, whether it is fresh right
off the tree, cooked, baked, sliced, or diced!
