When I was just the age Taite is now, my Grandma Ballantyne taught me to make pies by having me follow her steps. She made a regular size pie, and imitated her in making my own mini size pie. This year I did the same thing with Taite. We each made an apple and two pumpkin. She made her own pie crust. She measured the ingredients into a large ziplock bag, and kneaded everything together. I showed her on my own pie how to do the edging, and she completely edged her own pies on her own! I think she did a great job, and that her pies were absolutely lovely! We had a great time, and I didn't yell or become impatient even once! That's a bigger accomplishment than Taite edging her own pie!
