Johnny Appleseed

Johnny Appleseed is our legendary hero of the 2nd Grade Apple Unit. We taste-tested various apples, graphed our favorites, made fresh applesauce, delighted in the delicious, warm Apple Brown Betty dessert, toured Tuttles Apple Orchard in Greenfield, sang great songs! We even “made” our own apples, for real! Here you must meet our own local “SJA Appleseeds”…………

Apple Brown Betty Dessert
Spray your baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice your favorite apples.
Make a crumbly mix for the topping: (Melt ½ stick butter, ½ c flour, 3-4 packages of Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal, lots of cinnamon)
Top the apples with the crumbly mix.
Bake on 350 for 20-30 min.
Serve on vanilla ice cream (or delicious without!)

2nd Grade Homemade Applesauce
Core your favorite apples. (We used the skin for vitamins.) Fill your blender with these apples. Add water to fill 1/3 of blender. Blend until desired. Serve in bowls. Top with cinnamon. Enjoy!
