Making An Apple Pie with A Two-Year Old

Last week, Zachary and I went to the Apple Orchard and we still have so many apples. Today, we decided to bake Dad a Homemade Apple Pie! This is not only a first for Zachary but a first for mom! Here is how it went...

Step 1 - Make the Pie Crust from scratch...

Step 2 - Flatten the dough...
Step 3 - Select, Wash, Peel and Slice the Apples...
Step 4 - Mix the Apples with the Sugar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Flour (somewhere in between Steps 3 & 4, Zachary decided to take his shirt off)...
Step 5 - Add MORE sugar! Just as sweet as Zach and Mom (Notice the cook's snack in the background, prunes and juice!)...
Step 6 - Flatten the Dough To Make the Top Crust...
Step 7 - Bake Pie In The Oven, Wash Hands, Clean hundreds of Dirty Dishes, Scrub the Floor, Wash the Flour off the Walls and Start a Load of Sticky Clothes...
We will let you know later, how it turned out! It is so wonderful staying home with Zachary but everyday is a new adventure. I am constantly looking for new ideas to keep his mind learning and growing. We have such fun together!
