Take a day trip to an apple farm for some old-fashioned apple picking.
Some farms even have hayrides, bobbing for apples and fresh apple pie.
Buy a variety of apples and have a taste test. Try Granny Smith, McIntosh, Golden Delicious or other favorites and have friends and family try them all. Research the story of John Chapman, a.k.a. Kids may even want to write and illustrate their own version of the story. Let kids help arrange a tasty platter of sliced apples and cheese.
