APPLE
A simple fruit.
Attractive.
Tastes good.
Versatile.
Not too hard to grow or harvest.

Here is an easy apple-shaped cupcake:
Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
Make a large marble size ball from aluminum foil.
Tuck between the tin and the liner on one side.
This should push your liner into a Sort-of-Heart shape.
Prepare cupcake or muffin mix, following box directions.
Re-adjust foil balls if needed. Bake.
When they’re done and cooled, frost with canned frosting colored red with a bit of food coloring.
Poke a pretzel stick in the indented area, where the foil ball was. Add a snip of green gumdrop for leaf.
Fun Option:
Cut a gummy worm in half and push the cut end into the apple frosting, making gummy worm either ‘coming’ or ‘going’!
Apples have been around a long, long time.
Since the beginning with Adam & Eve eating fruit they weren’t supposed to (colloquially considered an apple) to 1300 BC with the Egyptians planting apple orchards along the Nile, to 800 BC when the Greeks were practicing grafting techniques on apple trees, the humble apple has been a part of our daily lives.

Today in the USA there are over 8,000 varieties of apples grown in a commercial venue.
Did you know the Bible never said that Eve ate an apple?
She disobeyed God and ate fruit from a certain tree, but no one knows what that fruit was, or if it even existed outside of the Garden of Eden.
Since the beginning of recorded history
The Apple
has been getting a bad rap!
“Every thought is a seed.
If you plant crab apples,
Don’t count on harvesting
Golden Delicious.”
- Bill Meyer
After we all got over that misconception of
“Apples are evil” (just ask Adam)
apples have been popular for home decorating,
all kinds of crafts and a
constant subject matter for artists.

Keeps anyone away,
If you throw it hard enough.”

I have done several blogs through the years
that featured apples and apple-related themes.

Next I have some jokes for the kids,
or the kid-at-heart:
Print out the apple above.
So many many things you can do with it! Here are just a few:
1. Add a face towards the top. Draw on some stick arms and legs. Cut out.
1a: it’s a shadow puppet! Make more simple puppets from other basic shape fruits (pear, banana, melon). Glue onto a stick (popsicle sticks work). Put a sheet over a table, with one side hanging down to the floor. Place BRIGHT light under table, where you are with your puppets, like a lamp with no shade.
Practice throwing shadows!
Write a script…
2. Make paper dolls. Add arms and legs and attach by punching holes and attaching with eyelets, brads or even string. Place apple doll on paper. Trace around it. This is your basic shape to make clothes from.
2a: place lightweight typing-type paper on top of your pattern. Draw on some clothes. Don’t forget to add tabs at the top and sides so the clothes will stay on!
Color in your clothes. Remember hats, scarves + for extra fun…
Cut out clothes and adjust to fit your apple paper doll.
3. Make an entire Apple family! Just resize the main pattern a little larger or a little smaller for each member. Color each apple a different apple variety.
Who’s an apple’s favorite relative?
What’s an apple’s favorite restaurant?
What do you get when you cross an apple with a shellfish?
What is your favorite apple?
(Remember you have over 8,000 varieties to pick from!)
Well, time to get this sent off, before it’s October and time to talk about Indian Corn and Pumpkins!
‘Til next time,
