Applesauce!

Homemade applesauce. There is nothing like it. We made it today and there was not a drop of it leftover. It's easy to make. All you need are cooked apples and an applesauce maker (that's not the technical name of it). The children really, really liked it!! By the way, I cooked a variety of apples: Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp and some Gala. 
During circle we thought of things
we've learned about apples.
Forgive the lack of sentence structure!

We are ready to make some applesauce!

Turn and crank.

The children decided that the core, stem and seeds
may not be as tasty as the juicy
goodness of the applesauce.
One child exclaimed, GROSS as he saw
that stuff ooze out of the end....

I cooked a smaller second batch of apples.
Some children wanted turn #2 to crank
the machine. 

All gone!!
We are full of applesauce!!
(12 out of the 15 kiddos loved the stuff!)

WE LOVE APPLES!!
