When people ask me what is your favorite thing to cook?, I answer PIE! At Thanksgiving I’ll bake over twenty pies (of more than a dozen varieties.) My pies have even been written up in Woman’s Day Magazine. For me, pies are easy, throw-together, joyous foods to make. But, many of you have pie anxiety. The crust trips you up. The thought of soggy filling stops you from trying. If you want to bake pie, but the thought of it fills you with trepidation, then this class is for you. I’ll show you how to make perfect crust. You’ll learn how to roll out the dough, pre-bake a crust, and also how to freeze pastry for future use. I’ll even teach you how to press in a graham cracker crust. After my demo, you’ll be making your own crusts! It takes experience, and you’ll have the time learn the technique and the feel in my kitchen.

Next, we’ll make two pies, a classic apple, and a lemon tart. You’ll learn how to do a crumble topping, and also a lattice weave. Leftover crust will be turned into cookies!

You’ll go home with your own apple pie in a glass baking dish, ready to bake off.

Class size is strictly limited to six people.

$80 per person includes a pie in a glass dish to take home. Cancellation policy — up to one week before the event you will get a refund of $60. No refunds after October 19.
