How to Experiment with Apples in Fun and Tasty Ways (and Snag a Free Printable)

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.

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.

You can get your free copy of these at the bottom of the article.

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
