Pie Unit

The last unit that we finished was the pie unit. First we made galettes. The way that we did this was we added flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. We then added the cut butter into the flour and sugar mixture. When the butter was evenly cut, we added the lard. Then when that is evenly combined the water was mixed in. After the pie dough was done we put that in the refrigerator to cool. We had to peel, cut and core apples. When the apples were all cut up we put them into a mixing bowl and tossed them with lemon juice and brown sugar. Finally we put the apples into a skillet and then cooked them off until they were soft. When the apples were soft we added flour and cinnamon. Then finally when everything was made we rolled out the chilled pie dough, and distributed the apple filling onto the dough. Then the dough was folded over and the mini galettes were ready to be baked. To make our pumpkin pie we had to crimp the edges of the crust before at put the pumpkin filling in. Then we made pop tarts. We took out the pie dough that we made the day prior and then rolled it out and added our filling and then baked them.
