Apple Pie

The girls and I went several times to Lewis Creek and climbing trees and picked the apples.  The picking was so much fun we would bring an entire bag full home and then eat 5-6 apples per day.  October wanted to make an apple pie so I set the girls up to bake their own apple pie.  Now, I don’t often remember to offer apple pie at lunch and Jeff had been eating it in the evening so October was rather upset when she learned that nearly all of her apple pie was gone.  Hence, the second apple pie.  The girls LOVED making the apple pies and with the exception of me helping them lift the pie crust into the pie pan and removing it from the oven, they made the entire pie themselves.  Used the apple pealer & slicer, made the pie crust from scratch, mixed the apples, rolled out the dough, filled the pie pan and cut holes in the top of the crust.  It was great to watch and they were SO proud of themselves.
