Baking Apple Pies – Yum! 30th January 2026 Uncategorised Last week, our Year 6 pupils rolled up their sleeves and turned into brilliant bakers as they made homemade apple pies , completely from scratch! The children learned how to make their own pastry using the rubbing-in method, before carefully rolling it out and lining a pie dish like true professionals. They then prepared the delicious apple filling, practising their knife skills by using the claw grip to safely cut the apples. Once everything was assembled, the pies were baked in the oven, filling the room with an amazing smell! It was hard to wait until the pies were cool enough to tuck in and taste their efforts!
