Apple Pie a la "Mole"


A few weeks ago, my daughter had a Chemistry assignment to do. The project was to make something that had a Mole in it.

According to Wikipedia, "The mole (symbol: mol) is the SI base unit that measures an amount of substance. One mole contains Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022×1024) entities."

Her chemistry teacher provided a paper pattern to make a Mole and with some brainstorming, she submitted the "Apple Pie a la Mole" you see above.

The pie was made of wood and then covered with homemade "paste" made of flour and other ingredients. The apple slices were made entirely of the flour material.

Among the entries from her classmates:

Mole-a-Lisa
Rock 'n Mole
Mole-ing Alley
The Spice Moles
Cinnamole
Guacamole
Moler System
Elmole

But nobody came up with my favorite: "Mole, Larry & Curly!"

We also thought of "Molester," but thought that might be a little difficult to pull off... lol
