When I sat down to bake an apple pie — MY first — with my son a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure exactly how long he’d last (it ended up being just over two hours) or how much he’d be able to do (quite a bit, as it turned out).
A few things young kiddos can help with as you bake your own apple pie this fall:
Smush together the flour, sugar and butter for the crust.
Crank an apple peeler/corer.
Slice apples (if you trust ‘em with a kid-safe knife).
Stir the filling over the stove (if they’re ready).
Roll the crust.
Crimp the top crust/slice holes in the top crust.

Enjoy fall baking season!
