The girls had fun playing with the dried apples... even the moldy ones. We found out that baking soda encourages mold, that epsom salt, with its larger crystals, dries things out better but holds the moisture around the apple, and that plain old table salt does the best job of preserving. I also jumped into the lesson and pointed out the relationship with the experiment and the Little House series (where they store food for the winter in salt barrels).
Yummy... want a bite?
#3 was just table salt
