Saturday we read
How to Make and Apple Pie and See the World and made some mini-apple pies. The book is about a girl who wants to make a pie, but the market is closed so she decides to get the ingredients other places. She goes to Italy to get wheat for the flour, France for eggs,
Sri Lanka for the world's best cinnamon, England for cream, Jamaica for sugar, and Vermont for apples.
We followed the recipe in the back of the book for the crust, but it wasn't very good. The kids need more practice rolling out pie dough so we'll try a different recipe next time. I canned some apple pie filling last summer. We used that for the inside. The kids loved that part--they ate the apples and left the crust.
Looks yummy! What a fun book, I will have to check it out of the library.
