Oktoberfest is a two-week festival in Germany, celebrated during the last week of September and into the first week of October.

You can make the most of this cozy time of year with Oktoberfest Crafts based on this harvest's most bountiful fruits: the apple.

Oktoberfest 'Apple Girl' Doll
Using nothing more than a dried apple for its base, this doll is a fun way to use up leftover fruit.

You can make this sweet and spicy treat to serve at any fall celebration or a Halloween party for kids.

These tasty fruits make for tasty crafts, and even some that you can play with when you're done! Find out how to make an Oktoberfest doll using dried apples on the next page.
