Apple Pie so Easy that you can Make it with Your Kids Kids Activities Blog

My youngest preschooler's favorite dessert is apple tree pie. Baking an apple tree pie was one of the A activities last week in our Activity-a-Day calendar. This is a super easy pie crust recipe and adding a drizzle of Carmel on top of the apple pie filling makes this a yummy tangy treat!   Are you doing anything with apples this autumn? Tell us about it in the comments!

Super easy pressed crust recipe:
Do you have a rolling pin? For awhile nosotros didn't. I used a vino bottle as a makeshift rolling pin until I discovered this recipe! It takes corking and I love how like shooting fish in a barrel it is to make this flaky crust.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/ii cups of flour
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• one/two teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup of cooking oil
• 1/2 loving cup of milk

Mix all the dry ingredients together (sometimes I add together a one/4 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients), then add the moisture. Mix ingredients into a ball then flatten the crust with your palms. Fold it upon itself and flatten again into a big circle. Place inside your pie pan. Cutting the loose edges off and flatten those to make your top crust. Fill with pie filling and bake every bit instructed.

.

For the filling I chopped upward half a dozen large granny smith apples, mixed them together with 1/4 cup of sugar (yous might want more, this was a pretty tart filling), 1/4 a cup of flour and one/ii teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice mix (I was out of cinnamon). Nosotros and so drizzled Carmel sauce on top of the filling before nosotros broiled it.

.

Tips: Press the pie filling in really tightly if you are using fresh fruit as it cooks down. If you want to make a variety of dissimilar treats with the same crust and filling, bank check out the book, Bake, by Nick Malgieri from Kyle Books publisher. Inspired by Nick, nosotros used some leftover filling and added some chopped currants and cranberries to make some pastries for our tea party.
