Easy As Pie!

If you've ever cooked with a three year old, you know it ain't that easy.

Two..more...eggs...

What might take 20 minutes in a typical recipe ends up being 2 hours. But if you're done watching cartoons, all hopped up on coffee, and prepared to let your kitchen look like a flour bomb exploded in it---then strap on an apron and try this delicious homemade apple pie with your darling tot!

Before, during, after...
Don't you love this pie plate?!
Got it in the home section @ Anthropologie.

(from the cookbook Mad Hungry: Feeding Men and Boys by Lucinda Scala Quinn, who is also the executive Food Director @ Martha Stewart Omnimedia, btw)

This recipe is not "speedy" but the extra time it takes to prepare is totally worth it--the Mr. and I have convinced ourselves that it's relatively good for us too (An apple a day and all that jazz!)

A sensory enjoyment experience for the whole family...

Let them eat...pie!

    1. If it were slightly less yummy, it would be easier to resist! Too bad, more zumba :)

  2. That looks really good! And you are so right...cooking with a 3 year old (mine is two) is a pain...for sure!

    1. Sometimes I look at it like a fun art project that I will later get to eat! (better than those macaroni necklaces we made as kids :)

    1. This recipe is from a cookbook about how to feed men--My Mr. was skeptical (I am not always the best cook) but he managed to eat 2/3 of it (with ice cream...) I am sure it will be a big hit!
