Apples, apples, apples… 6 boxes of them, one happy little girl and a content dog who also loves to eat apples… that is what I had yesterday when I was making pies to freeze.
Yesterday we made 6 pies (five to freeze, one to eat). I was in the middle of it when Brianna and Emma came over. I left the kitchen to download yet Another free embroidery design (my new passion). Brianna went out to the kitchen first and called me out there. There was my little Emmalyne looking so happy as she was enjoying the flour and butter mixture she was making all by herself…. Tara down under eating the flour that fell to the floor. I looked, I laughed, I ran and grabbed the camera! Then I put Brianna to peeling the apples and Emma and I made the crusts. I love the patience of being a grandma, I am sure I would have sent my own kids off to play long before Emma lost interest and moved on to other things herself. She did get to make a mini pie for herself. I had to laugh because I was making a big pie and gave her a clump of dough for her bottom crust. She would watch me and copy whatever I was doing. I helped roll it out more for her so we could put it in her little pie plate that came with the rolling pin I had bought for her. We filled it with the apples and such, then I gave her some dough for the top crust. I rolled out the one for my pie and put it on the pie. I turned to help her with her top crust and she had already put it on the pie and was trying to push it out so it would cover all the pie. I laughed and we fixed it and baked it. I sent it home with her so I am sure she will share it with Mommy and make Daddy jealous since he is away to school this week.
All in all, this was the most fun I had making pies…
