Homemade Applesauce!

This week we were learning about the letter A so we learned all about apples. We learned about the different kinds of apples, what an apple tree looks like in each season, where apples come from, and made a graph of what color apple is our class's favorite to snack on.

For fun and for five senses, we made applesauce on Friday. We began by putting together the recipe. We talked about why it was important to do things in the correct order to make it come out the right way. This was a great lesson in sequencing and the kids did a fantastic job!

After we got our recipe we got started! First, we cut, peeled, and cored the apples.
Then we added Water, Cinnamon, and Sugar.

We had to let it cook for 3 hours. It was a long wait and we were not very patient, but our room smelled delicious!!!

After the apples cooked, we had to mash them up!

Once we got the apples all mashed, we had to let it cool and then

We got to eat the applesauce!

It was delicious! What a sweet treat! Not only that, but it was really fun to make it together!
