Activity Detail
Fall is here, and there is a wonderful selection of apples at the store. Have your child help you make an apple crisp -- a wonderfully delicious fun autumn treat! Recipe: 1. Peel and slice 8 big apples. Have your child arrange them on a 9x13 baking dish. 2. Combine in large bowl - 1 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup butter, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup water. Kids love to help measure and pour ingredients. Have your child use his hands to mix this. Have him explain how it feels (gooey, wet, crumbly, etc). Then place mixture on top of apples. 3. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. Your child will be so proud to serve a dessert that he or she helped to create. Be sure to get out the fancy plates for this meal!
