• Family Learning Tip
  

While preparing the apples for the recipe, use this time to have the kids learn something new. 

• Hold up the apple 
• Have everyone guess how many seeds can be found inside. 
• Cut the apple open and count the seeds. Did any one guess right?
• Do it again with another apple & see if the seed count is the same. 

Now your ready to cut up the apple and finish the bread. Smell how yummy it is!
