How to Write Your Own Apple Pun

Most apple puns lean on one of a few familiar sounds: “core,” “peel” and “a” (as in a-peeling, a-maize-ing’s cousin).

  1. Pick an apple word: core, peel, orchard, pie, crisp, seed.
  2. Find a similar-sounding word or phrase: core becomes “core-ageous,” peel becomes “a-peeling.”
  3. Build a short, natural sentence around it, the way you’d actually say it out loud.
  4. Read it aloud. If it makes you smile or groan, it’s a keeper.
  5. Add a name, place or occasion to make it personal.
