Pie unit

During the pie unit we made apple pie, pumpkin pie, and pinwheel cookies. For the apple pie we learned how to roll the dough in between Saran wrap so that the delicate thin dough wouldn't stick to the rolling pin. We also learned to roll from the center, out so that all the dough is the same thickness. When the dough was all rolled out we put in the apples we sautéed with brown sugar and folded the dough so that it was mostly covering the apples inside. For the pumpkin pie we used a pie tin so that the pie would look more aesthetically pleasing. Before we poured the pumpkin filing into the pie tin we fluted the edges so it would look pretty. And for the pin wheel cookies we rolled out the pie dough, sprinkled cinnamon on it, and then rolled them up.
