Can you peel an apple in one piece? Why not have a family challenge to see who can create the longest piece of apple peel from a single apple, for the adults it has to be one piece for the children it can be several pieces combined.
Have a go at apple bobbing but do take care and supervise young children carefully.
Try tasting different types of apple.
