Pie Baking with Jan Douglas

Nattalie and I got a private lesson tonight with Jan in pie baking.  She will be helping our youth department with a fundraiser this coming week and wanted to make sure how the ovens at the church baked.

We enjoyed to one on one time with Jan on how to make the crust and the pie.  We made a cherry and a pumpkin pie.  John tasted a piece of the cherry tonight and said that it was great.  Tomorrow the kids and I will have a piece of pumpkin for breakfast.  I know that it is not the best breakfast in the world, but every now and then it is time to break rules and enjoy something fun together.

Here is a picture of both of the pies that we baked tonight....

Nattalie was so excited at how the pies turned out.  I know that Grammie and Pop have asked for a homemade pumpkin for Thanksgiving since they knew that we were getting this lesson tonight.  It will be fun for Nattalie and I next week to make a pie by ourselves....hopefully it turns out as nice as these ones!
