Pie Day

Union Hall kitchen before the work begins

In preparation for Pi Day (3/14), the Teen Cooking Club went to the pie pans to prep for the big day.  We had several recipes to conquer and this is the list:

Banana Cream Cookie Pies seemed like a simple and tasty option for creating a ton of mini pies.  Sadly, the cookie pie crusts stuck to the inside of the pan!  Despite greasing the mini muffin tins, this recipe became a minor disaster.  There must be a smooth way to bake the cookie dough and allow a quick release, but we did not find that resolution.  Nonetheless, they were pretty little belly fillers and disappeared after the shutter released on my camera.

Apple Pie Bites were a simple and satisfying recipe using just a few ingredients.  These whipped up in just minutes and cooked just as quickly.

Whoopie Pies were a HIT!!  Being a Pennsylvania transplant, I remember these special cake-like-pies from Lancaster County, but never made them on my own.  This recipe was "kid safe," because there were no raw eggs in the filling.

The last, but most nutritious recipe was Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes.  While the team that made these forgot the veggies, they were packed with protein and packed bellies, so that no one needed dinner after this program!

As always, this program was fun and action packed.  Several different recipes with varying temperature requirements for the ovens (we only have 2 ovens) and lots of excitement.  We certainly prepped for Pi Day.

Check back next month for a recap of Cake Day- nothing but cakes to follow all of these pies.  Thanks for visiting!
