This Saturday, my friend Amanda and I spent 9 hours making pies in jars as Christmas gifts. I know, I know. We are amazing individuals and people are lucky to know us. It was an arduous day, a day that required endurance and strength of character. But, with a little help from Mico, Brett (Amanda's husband), my mom, and Miley Cyrus, we persevered. And we are super excited to actually give the pies to people.
Then you put a little bit of crust on top. You can decorate the jars and freeze them for up to two months.
We still can't figure out how it took us so long to complete this task. It's not like we were just sitting around; we worked that whole time! It's really not a complicated process. You just press the pie crust into the jar, make the pie filling, and fill the jar.

We were originally going to make apple and cherry, thinking that apple would be really time consuming (since you have to peel all the apples). Unfortunately, the cherry recipe was not so good and turned out really weird. We were so glad we'd decided to sample one before giving them away. Luckily, apple pie is hard to mess up and turned out to be delicious. I can't wait to start giving these to people!
