Quest Challenge
Can your group agree on one winner and one surprising runner-up?
Pro Tip
Offer plain water between samples so a sweet first bite does not overpower the next apple.
Safety First
Check for food allergies, wash produce, and have an adult handle cutting; offer a non-food observer role for anyone who does not want to taste.
