Making Apple Pie!

Today the guys and their friend Mei Zhen made apple pie together! We have a library book all about making an apple pie and so the boys have been talking about wanting to make one for quite some time.

Dylan, Mei Zhen and Cole are all ready to start! They all have their little aprons on and are ready to roll.
They all took turns rolling out the dough and sprinkling flour on the rolling pin. They all did such a great job of taking turns.
Cole liked to sprinkle and roll.
Once the crusts were all rolled out we got the apples ready. Here Mei Zhen and her Mommy, Lynn, are turning the apple 'peeler, corer, cutter' device that we have. We all had fun watching the apple skin get peeled in one long piece!


Then they all took turns measuring the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkling those on the apples. Then it was time to stir! We only had a few flying apples.

Looks good for 3, 2-year old chefs!Then the best part of the morning was getting to eat the apple pie! Mommy had to cut them off after their second piece. Dylan said it was the best pie ever!
(Notice how Mei eats so daintily and even holds her hand under her fork to catch crumbs! I didn't put up the picture of the boys shoveling pie in their mouths with their bare hands! Is that a boy-girl thing? I thought I was teaching them eating manners!?)
