Norman teens will become half-baked pastry chefs at the "Apple Pie 101: Make It to Bake It" workshop 2 to 4 p.m. Nov. 25 at the library, 225 N. Webster St.
Workshop participants will be given all the ingredients for an apple pie and will leave with a pie ready to take home and bake. Friends of the Norman Library are providing the ingredients for this project.
"This workshop is as American as apple pie," joked Norman teen librarian Rebecca Spence, "and this is the sixth year that we have done this at the library. It's a great way for young people to contribute to their families' Thanksgiving menu."
There is no fee for the workshop but registration is required. To register, visit the library, call 701-2620 or register online via the events calendar at www.justsoyouknow.us/norman.
