How to Grow an Apple Pie

By Beth Charles and Katie Rewse

The apple trees in Sophie's orchard are ready to grow apples, and Sophie is ready to make a pie!

It's easy to make an apple pie, but what does it take to make the apples? Sophie is about to find out! First, the apple trees need to be about six years old—just like Sophie. Next, they need to be pruned, and the bees have to pollinate their blossoms. After that, the tiny apples grow through the summer until they’re ready to pick in the fall. Finally, it’s time for Sophie to make the perfect pie!
