Apple Pie Kids Can Make

Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Annabel Karmel, the British children's chef and kiddie cookbook author. Here, Annabel shares step-by-step instructions for apple pie that tots can make for Thanksgiving dinner.


This traditional dessert is a big favorite in North America — and at my house! I've used sharp green Granny Smith apples here, but sweet eating apples work well, too — just add a little less sugar. Following my recipe and step-by-step instructions, kids can take the lead in creating dessert for their holiday meal! Enjoy!

Step 1: Make the Pastry Step 2: Form a Ball Step 3: Make the Filling Step 4: Slice Step 5: Mix Together the Sugar and Cinnamon Step 6: Add to Dish Step 7: Sprinkle Half the Sugar Over the Top

The founders of the LA-based vegan cooking school Spork Foods gave apple pie à la mode a makeover and created a (non)milk shake. This dairy-free version is cholesterol-free, cooling, and tasty.

Good Apple Varieties For Baking

What Apple Variety Is Your Favorite For Baking?

When it comes to choosing apple varieties for desserts, everyone, it seems, can agree to disagree.

When it comes to choosing apple varieties for desserts, everyone, it seems, can agree to disagree. While some laud the Fuji's firmness, others find it too firm for pie. The popular Granny Smith has been described as "toothsome" to some, but others reject the green apple for breaking open during baking. The list goes on and on. In fact, there seems to be only one apple that everyone consents to being horrible for cooking: the Red Delicious variety, which tastes mealy when eaten out of hand and even mushier after it's baked.

My personal favorite apple pie apples are Jonagolds, Rome Beauties, and Pink Ladies, which have a nice blend of sweetness, tartness, juiciness, and slight crunch. Which apple varieties are you partial to using when you bake?

Easy as Apple Pie Bars

There's nothing quite as comforting, all-American, or nostalgic as homemade apple pie.
by partysugar

There's nothing quite as comforting, all-American, or nostalgic as homemade apple pie. While I'm a huge fan of the classic version, when I came across this recipe for apple pie bars, I got really excited. I'm always on the lookout for desserts that can be made in advance, are portable, and don't require utensils and a plate. Why? Because they are perfect for parties!

The bottom layer is shortbread, the middle layer is sugary apples, and the top layer is an oat and walnut crumble. Although it's a time-consuming recipe, the resulting dessert is worth it. They're wonderfully delicious and taste just like apple pie. It's also an ideal recipe for entertaining because you can serve them after breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Ready for the recipe? Read more.

Apple Pie Recipe With Shortening

Ready to Try the World's Best Apple Pie?

Because I haven't been a huge pumpkin pie fan until extremely recently, I've tried to take advantage of Fall's other stellar produce to end the season's celebrations on a sweet note.

Because I haven't been a huge pumpkin pie fan until extremely recently, I've tried to take advantage of Fall's other stellar produce to end the season's celebrations on a sweet note. Like everyone says, there's nothing more American than apple pie. To that I'd like to add: there's nothing that exemplifies Autumn more than the smell of a baked-from-scratch apple pie. This one is perhaps the best I've ever tasted! It's piled high to the sky with fresh apple filling, and the crust calls for shortening instead of butter, which makes it exceptionally flaky. To make this for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just because, keep reading.

Come Party With Me: Spring Picnic — Dessert

For my Spring picnic, I knew apple pie had to be on the menu because it's the quintessential American dessert.

For my Spring picnic, I knew apple pie had to be on the menu because it's the quintessential American dessert. The only problem is pie isn't the most picnic friendly of meals. Unlike cookies or brownies, pie just does not transport easily.

However, this recipe for apple pie bars looks picnic perfect. The crust is a crisp shortbread, the filling a mixture of apples and cinnamon sugar, and the topping an oat-walnut streusel. All the familiar flavors of apple pie are present, but no fork or plate is necessary! To see how it's made, read more

Come Party With Me: Vegetarian Thanksgiving — Menu (Desserts)

What would a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner be without the glorious finish?

What would a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner be without the glorious finish? Allow plenty of digestion time to pass before serving dessert. Offer guests two options to choose from. A sweet potato pie with pecan streusel is a nice alternative to the classic pumpkin pie. A to die for caramel apple pie rounds out the other half of the dessert menu.
