First gather a few things:
4 medium apples
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
pan
spoon
cinnamon
paper cups and spoons
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Cut the apple slices into small chunks. Put the apples in the pan with 1/2 cup water and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Wait until the applesauce cools, and you can eat this warm. Or refrigerate and eat it when it's cold.

 | Working with your child in the kitchen can open the door to discussions about what's safe and what isn't. While some parts of cooking are for only grownups, other parts can be done by children. Being involved in making something good to eat can make that food even more enticing. Besides, your child can see firsthand that heat can make some things soft -- a basic principle of science. |
