This month the girls learned about making pies. They learned about the different types of fillings that can go in a pie (from custard, to fruit to savory) as well as types of pie crusts (crumb, pastry, etc.).

They each made their own pumpkin pie to take home and share with family.

In order to identify the pies, each girl cut out her own shaped piece from leftover dough to put on the tops of the pies. This is the first batch to go in the oven.

The girls also learned how to make their pie crusts look pretty - along the edges and by using cut-outs.

Our wonderful teacher/hostess also made several other types of pies for the girls (and moms) to taste so we could experience the different types of pies. YUM!  Thanks Rebecca for a terrific class!

Our family enjoyed the pie Rebecca brought home. She has made more since then and has volunteered to make the pies for Thanksgiving. She is contemplating 2 or 3 – a pumpkin, a pecan and maybe an apple. I love that she is having fun and enjoying all of the topics this year. All of the girls are having fun and it’s exciting to see them excited about learning and practicing their new skills.

Blessings,
