- Aidan's Kid Pie:
- We found a small pie pan at our local Ben Franklin craft
store. Along with a kid's size roller and mixing spoon. Perfect
for little hands to help in the kitchen. The pie pan is about
4 inches in diameter and we filled it with about 1/2 cup of pie
filing from the main mix. He selected the cookie cutters to use
for his own crust decorations and did a great job placing them
on his pie. Cooking time is about 30 minutes.
