Parent & Kid Apple Pie Recipe

  Parent & Kid Apple Pie Recipe  

1st....Go   Apple picking and hand select your apples for the pie with the kids.

 (See my list of u-pick local farms)

Ingredients:

• 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade if you like)
• 4–5 medium apples (sweet ones like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala fresh from the farm)
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon flour (to thicken)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the apples:
   • Parent helps peel and core the apples.
   • Kid can slice apples (with a kid-safe knife) or help toss the apple slices in a bowl.
   • Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
3. Prepare the pie crust:
   • Place one crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
   • Spoon the apple mixture onto the crust.
   • Dot with small pieces of butter.
4. Top crust:
   • Cover with the second crust.
   • Parent can cut small slits in the top for steam to escape.
   • Kid can crimp the edges with a fork.
5. Optional egg wash:
   • Beat the egg and brush on the top crust for a golden finish.
6. Bake:
   Bake for 45–50 minutes, until crust is golden and apples are bubbly.
7. Cool & enjoy:
   Let it cool for 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Tips for a fun parent-kid experience:

• Let the kid sprinkle sugar and cinnamon.
• Make small hand-pie versions for individual fun.
• Give them a small brush for the egg wash.
