APPLES AND TRUE LOVE
In a group of unmarried girls and boys, each should mark an apple and place it in a bucket or tub of water. Apples that are not marked should also be added into the group. Each person should try to bite an apple floating in the water without using their hands. The apple one is able to bite is the person who they are fated to marry. This is probably where the custom of bobbing for apples came from.
However, the American custom does not have the apples marked. And, whoever snags an apple first will be the first to marry.
Think of 5 or 6 names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple say the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you said when the stem fell off. The number of seeds inside an apple you cut in half is the number of children you will have.
