Before the marathon began, we made the crusts.
Many hands made for light work.
|
We used 800 pounds
of flour during this year's marathon.
|
Here is a picture of our dough-making
crew hard at work.
|
Even though this is a women's group project,
the help of men from the church make it a success.
|
After the dough making, we prepared for the messy
job of making pies by putting tarps over the floors.
|
We purchased apples from Leipprandt's Orchards.
We used 85 bushels of apples to make the pies.
|
Many church volunteers made the messy work
of peeling apples go faster.
|
We had an efficient system where some people
peeled apples, while other people sliced them.
|
We were blessed to have the Sheriff's work
crew working alongside our church volunteers.
|
Peeling apples provided time for
fellowship with other Christians.
|
After the apples were peeled, we began
rolling out the dough to make the crust.
|
Men, as well as women, participated
in making the crust.
|
Our efficient crew quickly rolled out
each ball of dough to make the perfect crust.
|
After the crust was rolled out,
it was put into a pie tin.
|
Sliced and peeled apples were put into large
bowls and mixed with other ingredients.
|
After the crust was put in a pie tin, the apple
mixture was added and butter was put on top.
|
Next, a top crust was added, the extra dough
was cut off, and the edges were crimped.
|
More of our tireless volunteers putting
the finishing touches on the pies.
|
Our next step was to place each pie
into a bag.
|
Finally, the pies were put in a box
and baking directions were added.
|
Keeping tabs on orders and payments
is a big job.
|
Another big job was cleaning up after we were finished.
Thanks to all our volunteers!
