craig was gone for the weekend and i mentioned to annie that we should surprise him with an apple pie when he got back.
i said “you could make it yourself… he’d be so happy!”
and that was all it took.

who doesn’t love to use the Apple Peeler-Corer 
?
all kids love this kitchen tool!
it’s a fact.

we use the Pioneer Woman cookbook Perfect Pie Crust recipe.
like the original first cookbook from way back when.
funny side note… apparently we don’t have a rolling pin anymore?
it’s now on my grocery list but i guess i left my rolling pin at the CH so we used our can of cooking spray as a rolling pin to make do.
we used the apple pie recipe from The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen
 cookbook.

craig was super impressed with annie’s baking skills and effort.
we made homemade ice cream and invited some friends over to enjoy it with us!

and it made the world’s best breakfast… hands down..jpg)
Deb Meyers - Flaky Crust is the gold standard for pie baking and SHE DID IT. Just look at those flakes! great job Annie… it looks SO good.
Kathleen W. - Beautiful pie Annie !! Apple pie for breakfast is the best, enjoy !
Lori - So awesome! I’ve always wanted to make apple pie from scratch. Way to go Annie!
Jenny B. - I love it!! I have seen several kids her and my son’s age do some amazing things lately. They are growing up so fast!! I showed him the picture of Annie with her pie, and he said, “Wow, if I married her, I wouldn’t have to cook!” Ha! He is always thinking ahead. 🙂 By the way, my boys think they will do the cooking when they have families of their own because my husband is the cook in our house (you are welcome, future daughters-in-law). 😉
beth - that looks amazing! Love how she piled it mile high~ : )
Aimee - Next time if you don’t have a rolling pin…use a chilled bottle of wine…the dough doesn’t stick to it!
Kelly - Love that Annie made it on her own! My Mom makes amazing apple pies, and I love having a slice for breakfast!
Bridget - Great idea on the breakfast … it’s basically a better-for-you pop tart :o)
Bethany - Pie for breakfast is the best!
Julie - Great looking pie – love having leftover dessert for a breakfast treat:)
Lisa - Love seeing kids bake and cook! where did you get that adorable mug?
Amy Woods - Ahhhnnnnd now I’m needing apple pie. And coffee.
But Annie, you are awesome girly!
