Airplanes & Apple Pie

Tonight I spoiled my boys! There are just a few things that Errett is passionate about in life...one of which is homemade apple pie! Each fall, I try and make at least a couple of homemade apple pies for him. He could actually eat the whole thing in one sitting, if he let himself.

Ethan and I love to do baking projects together. We decided it was time to make Daddy an apple pie today. He was my "helper" while we baked a pie. Three year old boys are such fun helpers in the kitchen. Thankfully, little sis was still napping so we actually had dough rolled out and apples sliced in no time at all.

When baking a pie, I typically leave out some extra dough when rolling it out to use for decorating the pie. Usually, I decorate it for the season (hearts for Valentine's Day, leaves for autumn,...). Today we were a bit more creative! Ethan, like his daddy, is passionate about just a few things in life...one of which is airplanes. It just happens that I have a fetish for cookie cutters and happen to have quite a collection, including a small jet plane. E was thrilled to decorate the pie with jet planes!

Both my boys were so proud of their pie...and even more excited to eat it!

By the way, it was delish!!!
