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).
• Decorate your pies with sprinkles.
• Decorate with other types of fall themed candy.
• Have a pie eating contest with your entire family.
