Making Applesauce In The Classroom

September 2, 2018

Making Applesauce In The Classroom

Making applesauce in the classroom is one of the easiest things to do! It fits perfectly into our apple unit and the kids get so excited about it! This is a super quick and easy recipe perfect for the classroom and only has 5 ingredients! Be prepared for the classroom to smell amazing!

We do this activity as part of our apple unit and our Cooking Class How To Make Applesauce. It is a fun way to incorporate many different learning standards. In this pack, the students are learning writing, sequencing, retelling, life skills and much more. It’s a great hands-on activity to get the students excited to learn.

Cooking Class How To Make Applesauce

Supplies you’ll need

a crockpot  or a slow cooker

wooden spoon

measuring spoons and cups

peeler

knife for slicing the apples

cutting board

paper bowls and plastic spoons for taste testing

Making Applesauce In The Classroom -ingredients

Ingredients

This will make a good tasting amount for approx 15 students – double the recipe if you have a larger class

8 golden delicious apples

1/3 cup of  granulated sugar

1/4 water

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Making applesauce in the classroom

To make this classroom friendly, I prepare all but one or two of the apples at home. I peel and slice them so they are ready to go. Bring the last couple of apples so the students can see the process too of peeling and slicing the apples. Depending on your class level, you may choose to pick a couple of students to help demonstrate it to the class.

Making Applesauce In The Classroom

To make the applesauce, peel, and core. Cut the apples into fourths and place them in the crockpot. Have students measure and add the sugar, water, lemon, and cinnamon. Have another student stir the apples to combine everything.

Put the lid on the crockpot and cook the apples on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until apples are very soft.

Allow them to cool slightly and then mash them with a wooden spoon. This will leave them somewhat chunky, but if you want a more smooth applesauce you can put them into a blender or use an immersion blender.

When the applesauce is cool enough, it’s time to taste test!

I hope your students have fun with this hands-on learning experience!

See you next time!
