This apple pie pocket recipe is simple enough the kids will be able to do nearly all of it themselves. This builds such confidence in themselves and provides them with a good foundation for following recipes in their future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus it’s a delicious fall treat once it’s baked. Here’s how to make these apple pie pockets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes for early learners, it’s fun to label them as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s an example of the kitchen labels we use<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Preheat oven to 400 degrees <\/p>\n\n\n\n Want something to serve a group? This Easy Apple Crisp<\/a> is a go-to dessert recipe as it is so simple to make with the kids too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another option if you’re in a classroom is to make this delicious Crock Pot Apple Crisp<\/a> with the kids. <\/p>\n\n\n YOUNGER CHILDREN: Start with precut apples and have them mix in pre-measured ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n OLDER CHILDREN: Fun for all ages, see if they want to test our other fruit ingredients or spices to add flavor as they become a future chef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your child may also enjoy making mini apple pies. Here’s the recipe.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also try the Best Apple Crisp<\/a> with just some fresh sliced apples topped with a buttery cinnamon oat topping and perhaps a scoop of vanilla icecream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or try this delicious Apple Dapple Cake<\/a>! It’s fresh apples and chopped pecans held together with just the right amount of a cinnamon and vanilla batter. <\/p>\n\n\n Here are a few of my favorite books to read about apples and even apple pies. I always love connecting a book with what we’re cooking for our kid-friendly recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading a book about the food is helpful to do before you start but it’s also a fun activity to do while the apple pie pockets are baking. Here are some additional apple activities for kids<\/a> to extend their learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
