It's the middle of Winter, and if you're anything like us, you're looking for any reason to turn another ho-hum day into a celebration. So when we found out that today is Pi Day (3.14 aka March 14), we couldn't think of a more fun way to celebrate than with one of our favorite desserts — pie. Invite your kids into the kitchen and get baking! From the classics to some more inventive concoctions, here are five pie recipes that are likely to appeal to even the smallest palates.
Start off with the ultimate classic, an all-American apple pie. Task your tots with cutting out pieces of pie crust (like the stars seen here) for a decorative edge.
Put your leftover meat and veggies to good use with a savory turkey pot pie — a satisfyingly hearty dinner for a chilly Winter night.
Hand pies are a hot trend in the foodie world, and we think they lend themselves perfectly to little hands (and bellies). Twig & Thistle serves up a recipe and printable template so you can bake and package with ease!
Steer clear of the oven and put your freezer to use instead! This no-bake raspberry Nutella pie is decadently delicious.
If your child has a serious sweet tooth (and has been cleared for nut allergies), give this caramel pecan pie a try. With just 10 minutes of prep time, it's the perfect way to introduce baking to your little one.
