Fall is in the air and with that comes apple season! This is the time of year to make the very best apple pie. Nancy's students rave about this fun class. If you say, “I can’t make pies” then this class is for you. Nancy will take you through all the steps, from making a crust, to preparing all the filling for your pie using the freshest apples. You will be surprised how easy it is. Leave class with a hot apple pie to share with family and friends. Boxes will be provided. Please bring a rolling pin, if you have one. Supply fee of $15 payable to instructor in class.
