Each year we like to go apple picking together as a family. It’s a great time to get out into God’s beautiful world and remind the children about the harvest, to be thankful for the food we have to eat, and to explain how God created seed-bearing plants (Gen 1:29) as a way of provision for us.

Apple Activities:

count apple seeds
cut apples in half and paint with the apple halves
draw a picture of an apple tree
take photographs while apple picking
go to library and search for books about apples
apple acrostic poems
dehydrate apples
make applesauce
make apple dumplings

Here is a recipe for apple dumplings that my children’s Grandmother gave them. We like to go apple picking in the morning, come home and sort and wash the apples, and make apple dumplings that afternoon. Everyone helps out with the picking, cleaning, cooking, and of course eating!

Apple Dumplings

1. Make pie crust and set aside (store bought is fine)

2. Peel and core apples. Once the apples are peeled and cored, cut out a square of pie dough that is large enough to wrap around the apple. Arrange the apples in a baking dish.

3. Make the Syrup.
