The Apple Pie Tree


The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall is a fun book that follows each season of an apple tree as it grows leaves, blossoms, and apples.  When the apples are ready to be picked, it is time to make an apple pie! 

Instead of making apple pie, we made apple pie dip.  Oh my, this is SO good!  You can find the recipe on the Family Fun magazine website.  Click on that link now and get this recipe because you will want to serve this at your next party or social event.  Really, it's that good!


Of course you need something to be dipped into this deliciousness.  The recipe called for using tortillas, but we used a Pillsbury pie crust instead.  I just unrolled the crust, brushed on melted butter, sprinkled on cinnamon and sugar and then used our fall cookie cutters to cut shapes from the crust.  Then I baked them in a 350 degree oven for about ten minutes.




Yum!

That looks very good - and fun at the same time - perfect!

We read this book last year and enjoyed it too. I like your take on apple pie dip, and the recipe sounds easy enough. C clearly gave it "thumbs up".

Great idea! Meghan likes to make (pretend) apple pie soup, so that book would be perfect!

My mom always sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the leftover crust and baked it for us as a treat when she made pies. I bet adding the apples to it really is good.

I bet Jeff would love this. Poor guy, I'm not a fruit desert type of person and he is, so he doesn't get these treats all the time.
