This weekend was fall break so I decided to go back home to New Jersey and spend a couple of days with my family. My family and I wanted to do something fun so we went apple picking to make apple crumb pie. As we pulled up to Battleview Orchards, the spot to pick apples, we saw a field full of all different kinds of apple trees. There was such a variety of apples including, Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Braeburn, Pink Lady and more. In order to pick the apples, you needed to climb to the top of the tree. So there I go, climbing all the trees and throwing the apples down to the bottom so my brother could collect them in the bucket. We ended the day with twenty one apples, which was more than enough for the apple crumb pie.<\/p>\n

In order to make apple crumb pie, you need five apples, cut and sliced into a bowl. My mom bought the pie crust already made so all we had to do was bake it for twelve minutes to brown it. The we mixed together in a bowl the apples, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Next we poured the apples in the bowl into the pie crust to then put in the oven to bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees fahrenheit, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees fahrenheit\u00a0for 45 minutes. We also added flour, sugar, cinnamon, butter and oats to sprinkle on the top as the crumb. Finally, we took out the finished apple crumb pie and ate it as a family. Every bite was warm and delicious, filled with so much flavor.<\/p>\n

This event of apple picking connects to class because we discuss how fruits contain fructose. Many apples\u00a0have been developed as dessert or cooking fruit or for making cider. In this case\u00a0I had made a dessert which was apple crumb pie. I cut the apples up and added a spice to them which was cinnamon.\u00a0I enjoyed making apple crumb pie and I look forward to making it again next year.<\/p>\n
