Kids in the Kitchen: Easy Fall Pies
Kids in the Kitchen: Easy Fall Pies with 5 Ingredients
School has started and fall is in the air! This means the beginning of the holiday season with rapidly approaching Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas/Hannakuh/Kwanzaa, New Years one after the other. We LOVE pie in our house and you all know how much I love to bake with the kids. My latest endeavor in the kitchen with the kids was Easy Fall Pies with 5 ingredients!! How much easier can it get?
Ingredients
- Ready Crust mini graham cracker pie crusts (they come in a package of 6)
- 1 package of instant Jell-O pudding – we used Caramel because we couldn’t find the Seasonal release Pumpkin Spice in our store
- Milk
- Whipped cream
- Autumn Mix Mellowcreme candies
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding according to package directions
- Pour into graham cracker crusts
- Refrigerate until the pudding sets
- Top with whipped cream
- Decorate with Autumn Mix Mellowcreme candy
- Eat!!
The kids were great helpers with this project – anything they can eat when they are finished is always a winner in their books! We love to celebrate the seasons and frequently our celebrations include baked goods.
Activity Extensions
- Make homemade pie crust – you can find my go to recipe here.
- Make cook and serve pudding (this is a great option for working with older kids and having them get familiar with cooking on the stove).
