As American as apple pie

Fireside Pies is a hearth-cooking event as American as apple pie — so come and bake one on Oct. 11 at Lefferts Historic Homestead.

The Fireside Pies event is hosted by the Prospect Park Alliance and offers an opportunity for families to bake apple pies in the outdoor hearth of the Lefferts Historic House. Along with baking a really good pie, families learn lessons on the history of Lefferts and fire-making.

Fireside Pies on Oct. 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. $10 per person or $30 for a family of four, cash only.
