Apple Pie by Hunter

Reason number 1,273 to love home schooling: spending Monday morning together in the kitchen, baking an apple pie with the apples you picked last Monday morning :o)

Last week, our Five in a Row book was How To Make an Apple Pie and See the World. (I will post our lapbook on this sometime tomorrow) Our unit study culminated with the baking of a magnificent apple pie.

Step One: Combine dry ingredients

(ps - how adorable is the juxtaposition of the Urlacher jersey/puppy dog apron??)

~

Step 2: Pour dry ingredients over apples that took mom forever to peel and slice with a paring knife because she got all ready to make the pie and realized she doesn't have any kind of a peeler...

~

Step 3: Press pie crust into 9" pie plate

~

Step 4: Destroy any evidence that might suggest you used a store-bought pie crust.

~

Step 5: Pour coated apples into *homemade* pie crust.

~

Step 6: Place top layer of *homemade* pie crust, and flute the edges. That's right, flute.

~

Step 7: Paint the *homemade* pie crust with an egg white (or as Hunter, the five year old comedian, prefers to call it - boogers)

~

Step 8: Put the pie in the oven and wait patiently...

~

Step 9: Sniff and admire :o)

All in all, our project was a huge success! We had a great time together, and Hunter is extremely proud of his pie - we are so excited to rip into this bad boy during half-time tonight!
