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.
