Mini Apple Pie Recipe

An adult heats the oven, peels and chops the apples, bakes the pies and takes out the hot pan, and the filling stays very hot after baking. The allergy note says pie crust has wheat and may have milk or soy, so read labels and check for allergies first.

One page with ingredients for the crust and the filling, a tools list and 8 numbered steps. Children roll ready-made crusts, cut 12 circles with a 4-inch cutter and fill each muffin cup with apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice. A math idea box asks whether a baked pie's distance around is about 3.14 times its distance across.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

15 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 25 Pi Day resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Pi Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
