September Seasonal Spotlight: The Apple

September is a perfect time to place apples in the spotlight.

According to the USDA, one medium apple with the skin provides approximately four grams of dietary fiber.

Apples also count toward the fruit portion of a balanced meal.

For a fun family activity, compare two varieties—such as a sweet Gala and a tart Granny Smith—and ask which flavor, texture, and color everyone prefers.

This encourages students to explore seasonal produce without labeling one choice as better than another.
