Thanksgiving Pie and Other Ideas

Baking

The recipe is for 2 (two) 8-or 9-inch pie pan.

Pie Crust:
2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup of Confectioners Sugar
1 Yolk
2 teaspoons of Sour Cream
3 teaspoons of Baking Powder
4 oz of Soft Shortening/Butter

Filling:

16 to 20 oz chunky apple sauce for 1 (one) 8-or 9-inch pie pan + 8 crumbed baby biscuits
16 to 20 oz pumpkin pie mix for 1 (one) 8-or 9-inch pie pan
16 to 20 oz whole berry cranberry sauce for 1 (one) 8-or 9-inch pie pan

Sift together flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in shortening. Add yolk and sour cream. Mix it all to make stiff dough. Divide dough into two equal portions to get 4 portions for 8-or 9-inch pie pan (2 portions for the bases and 2 for the tops.) Roll one portion on lightly floured surface into circle 1/8 -inch thick. Fit onto 8-9-inch pie pen. Now it’s time to preheat oven to 425 F (hot.) Add filling. (Attention! Chunky apple sauce mix with 8 crumbed baby biscuits. Whole-berry cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie mix are ready to use.) From the second ¼ portion make straps and place them on the filling to decorate it. Repeat the process for the second pie pan. Bake in reheated to 425 F oven for 20 minutes, lower the temperature to 375 F and bake 25 minutes longer or until gold. Let the pies cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before serving. You can sprinkle your pie with confectioners sugar.

Thanksgiving Cards

First idea:
You need a piece of white paper, child’s hand to trace the fingers to make a turkey tail, markers, crayons or paints to color.
When finished place the wishes on the back of the turkey.

This isn't just a turkey as you can plainly see.

I made it with my hands which are a part of me.

It comes with lots of love especially to say,

I hope you have a very, Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Second idea:
Cat the template, glue and color with markers crayons or paints.

That’s a thank you lunch she prepered for daddy.
