Thanks Giving Pies

This is Eli.  He's the president of the men's organization (Elder's Quorum) at church while I'm still president of the women's organization (Relief Society).  


We spent one Friday night making pies for people in the ward to thank them for being awesome and for all the work they put into making our ward (congregation) great.  We made 4 pies (2 apple and 2 pumpkin) and bought one berry pie.

I put Eli in charge of peeling and cutting the apples.  We used Granny Smith.
At this point it was already smelling good with the cinnamon and sugar goodness!
I wanted to try an oatmeal crumble on top.  Full of butter and brown sugar!
Baked up beautifully!  Next time I'll bake it half way with a cover and take it off so the top doesn't get so dark.
The pumpkin pies were a lot faster to make as we used canned pumpkin.  (Sorry Mom!)
Our Bishop loves berry pie so we bought one just for him.

Kitty got tired of supervising.  It can be exhausting meeting new people and keeping track of Mommy's shenanigans.
The pie shells were really full!  They poured a little over the side while trying to place into the oven.
But I still think it has a beautiful color!
We didn't get to sample any but hope they tasted as good as they smelled.  
Thank you to everyone in the Highland Ward for their friendship and positive attitudes in working together.
