It's fall! Yes, that often conjures up images of pumpkins and leaves. But, it also involved apples.
Apples are used in delicious recipes, and in old-fashioned games like bobbing for apples. And while it gets a bad rap by being associated with the fruit that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden, it is really one of God's best fast food options - just pick, wash and eat.
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah just came and went recently. One part of the celebration involves dipping apples in honey.
September was a time of ripened apples, so if you went apple picking you still just might have some apples to use in one way or another.
Apples can also serve to be a launching pad for any number of interesting homeschooling lessons.
