When Life Gives You Apples, Make Dessert!
A Hands-On Pie-Baking Workshop at Red Shirt Farm Market
Just in time for Thanksgiving, join us for an evening of butter, flour, and apple-scented inspiration. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to make three classic apple desserts—each with its own signature crust:
Double-Crust Apple Pie (pâte brisée)
Apple Tart (pâte sucrée or pâte sablée)
Rustic Apple Galette (free-form single crust)
We’ll start with a tasting of each dessert, then roll up our sleeves to make the doughs together. You’ll mix, roll, and shape each crust type alongside our instructor, learning the techniques that make for tender, flaky pastry every time.
Each participant will:
Make and take home three types of pie dough, ready to bake or freeze.
Assemble and bring home a small double-crust apple pie—ready to freeze and bake for Thanksgiving.
Learn the science behind great baking: how flour, fat, and technique work together for perfect results.
Explore the cultural and historical roots of pie-making traditions.
Gain confidence in rolling, shaping, decorating, and finishing your pies beautifully.
We’ll talk butter, baking times, ingredient swaps, and creative variations—all while alleviating any lingering “pie anxiety.”
