Key lime, pumpkin, or apple -- no matter how you slice it, pies are tasty treat. You can taste them all at the Great American Pie Festival this weekend.

Pie connoisseurs taught students from one local school how to make the perfect after meal dish.

Everybody loves a good pie, normally I'm on the receiving end of it though. But for some kids at Ivey Lane Elementary, it's their first experience making a pie.

"We rubbed the dough back and forth and we put the dough inside of the pan and they asked us which flavor would we like," said Michael Thomas, a second grader.

There were only two flavors to choose from, cherry and apple. The pie lady poured up one of those fillings into each of the kids’ pie crust.

Thanks to Second Harvest Food Bank, you might be looking at the meanest pie maker in Central Florida coming to a bake sale near you.

"After school our kids might not have a meal to go to, so what Kids Cafe does is they provide a meal for the kids after school they have something to eat when they get home," said Brady Koch from the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Obviously they're not making pies for dinner, but the chance to experiment with food is especially fun for Thomas because he says the dough feels “squishy, almost like clay.”

"I made that pie and I rolled the dough and I did everything and I did it right," said Taytana Hinson, another second grader.

Now that she made the pie right, Taytana hopes her creation will turn out to look something like this in the future.

Out of the people Second Harvest Food Bank serves, at least 25 of them are children, making Kids Cafe and its 12 after school outreach programs very important.
