We love experimenting at our house. A bad week can easily be turned around by breaking out the science experiment books and discovering something new and fun. A few weeks ago, we learned of fun and tasty ways to experiment with apples.

Apple Tasting Experiment

To perform your apple experiment, you’ll need lots of different types of apples. I literally bought every apple variety in our local store.

Some of the apple varieties we used were:

  • Red Delicious
  • Granny Smith
  • Gala
  • Pink Lady
  • Golden Delicious
  • Fuji
  • Honey Crisp

Each child had her own apple to taste, smell, feel, hear and see. Then they recorded their observations on this great printable from Little Bins For Little Hands. You may need to print out multiple copies if you have more than five varieties.

Apple Browning Experiment

For this apple experiment, you just need one apple, but you will need several liquids to use to test.

We used:

  • Lemon
  • Soda
  • Milk
  • Water
  • Vinegar

We sliced the apple and coated each slice with a different liquid. We set each slice on a pre-labeled plate and checked it every 30 minutes.

Then we noted our observations on our Apple Experiment Worksheets.

The video below explains the experiment.

This video was great for explaining why the apples turn brown in the experiment.

Apple Desserts

Now, what to do with all those leftover apples? We used them to make apple butter and apple dumplings. 

There are so many amazing apple recipes. Here are just a few of them:

  • Apple Butter Oatmeal Bars
  • Cinnamon Apple Pecan Squares
  • Fallish Fun: Caramel Apples
  • Easy Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake
  • Apple Cheesecake Coffee Cake
  • Paleo Apple Muffins
  • Grandma’s Apple Crisp
  • Apple Cran-Raspberry Jam

Or, you can always do what my daughter did. Feed the apple slices to the horses. They will love you forever.

Hi, I’m Dachelle. I’m a homeschooling mom of 3 in the South. I love chocolate and have been known to hide it from my children. I can often be found reading a good book (or even sometimes just an okay book) and enjoying a jar of Nutella — don’t judge. I blog, here, at HideTheChocolate.com when I’m not creating book clubs and making lists…lots and lots of lists (it’s an addiction). Learn more…
