Apple Pie

Today was a fun day!  We all made an apple pie together.  We read "The Apple Pie Tree" by Zoe Hall.  This is one of my favorite books!  It shows the different stages of an apple tree and then the kids, in the book, make an apple pie with the apples.   Of course, we made our version of an apple pie too.  I love this recipe because it is really kid friendly!


I turned the small convection oven on to 400 degrees.
First I prepped the apples (5 large, peeled and cut) ahead of time.  We added 1 tablespoon of sugar to the apples to make them more juicy.  We all took a turn stirring the apples and sugar mix.

We set the apples aside and worked on the "pie crust" part of the recipe.  

 Patrick added 1 cup of light brown sugar.

 Kara added 1 cup of Bisquick.

 Talia added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Luke added 1 egg, the entire egg!  I fetch it out, all in one piece and showed him how to break an egg.  :)

I added 1 and 1/2 sticks of melted butter (microwave for 1 minute) because it was really hot!  We all took turns stirring the mix. 

 We sprayed the pan and placed the apples into it.

 Then we poured the "pie crust" on top of the apples and spread them out.  

We placed it in the oven for 1 hour.

This is what it looks like after it was all done!  It was so yummy.  All of the kids loved it!  This is such an easy recipe and you can use almost any fruit.  Hope you all have a chance to make this with your kiddies too!
