Mini Apple Pies

We made these mini apple pies.  I got this idea from by Best Bites cookbook which has definitely been my new favorite cookbook this fall.  This was a summer cooking project that we did to "learn a new skill".

 Morgan and Maddie pretty much made the pie crusts by themselves.  They did a great job!

The finished mini pies.  I'm pretty sure that we were supposed to use jars that were a little bigger.`  It was a cute idea, but there was a high proportionate of crust to filling.

I am happy to say that we finished our summer cooking & summer fun activities.  We had 7 categories of cooking and 7 categories of summer fun. We did at least 10 things in each category.  Towards the end, the kids were getting tired of my determination to finish all of our summer activities.  However, I just felt like we were too close to completely finishing it to fall short.  This is my last post of fun activities we did this summer.  We had such a GREAT summer.  I usually have summer plans that are so high and mighty that after a couple of weeks I give up.  However, this summer my plans were realistic and we followed them to the end.  I will definitely be doing something similar next summer.
