How to Bake a Pie in a Van // New England Road Trip

not the one I wanted where Chris and
Sarah a husband-and-wife creative duo
five years ago we met cycling across
America three years ago we got married
and our current adventure is traveling
and working full-time out of our DIY
Sprinter van we’re on a mission to live
more meaningful lives by inviting other
people along the way to join us in the
adventure we are
[Music]

we need to show them where we’re at
we’re in the great Apple room here look
at that the Apple room it’s a really
really high ceilings it’s really great
it’s nice that they got a little picking
people out and everybody can be fed up
like a little living room like this
entire place this is the Apple room we
haven’t picked a single Apple yet Naruto
we’re just being those people we had the
playthrough so let’s go it’s okay okay
let’s go
not the one I wanted
you’re like the evil stepmother and snow
white is the perfect outfit look so
yesterday was my birthday but I did not
get birthday cake now grant it I’m not I
like cake like if you have cake I will
probably eat it if you offer it to me
but I did offer it and he didn’t accept
it exactly so like I but I like pies I
really like pies so we’re here at the
apple orchard and we’re gonna make an
apple pie we nothing it’ll find it being
me making the pie and him filming it I
mean it’s kind of a given
it’s teamwork but you cook but I cook
you cook I shouldn’t say that but I did
pick I did pick an apple so anyway
that’s why that’s why we’re here because
we are going to make an apple pie and
we’re in a van in the van because look
at all the other van lifers on YouTube
on Instagram I don’t know if I’ve seen
anybody make an apple pie in the van
Nelson I’m sure somebody has and
somebody’s probably going to link it
down below in the comments but I’ll be
honest I’m not cooker Baker Baker cooker
there I don’t like to cook every now and
then when I don’t have to cook because
I’m just doing fun I’ll cook I like to
bake every now and then but it is not my
favorite therefore I am not that great
at it so I haven’t made this pie yet but
I’m just gonna give y’all fair warning
at the beginning the video it’s probably
not gonna be a thing of beauty but it
will be made with love and intent force
worst case worst case scenario we have
to go to the grocery store and buy an
apple pie and then put it in the oven at
the end and make you think that we made
it they’ll never know they’ll never know
I mean we’ll we’ll leave the price tag
on so so we picked our apples it only
takes about I got we got eight apples I
think that’s more than enough for a pie
depending on how many apples you need it
takes what probably five minutes well
it’s not busy here and everything’s ripe
already and
there’s yeah nice so we did see though
at the very front of the orchard that
they have apple cider which is a given
but then they have apple cider donuts
those are my favorite so I know we’re
gonna make a pie but I think we may have
to have pre dessert dessert like right
now we’ll figure it out
so all right it’s getting busier here
little busier but little tractor coming
up yeah
so we have our doughnuts apple cider we
each got an apple cider doughnut I’ve
got one hot apple cider and one cold
apple cider yes and something to know
you will pay a premium for these kind of
things being at like a local orchard but
you’re buying local and you’re also
paying for the experience which we
wanted it feels like fall I grew up
doing this and I didn’t grow up doing
this but it’s a fun tradition sorry I’m
looking white hairs really frizzy it’s a
little humid right now enough talking
started eating I got sugar all over my
mouth every time we film a video we’re
eating Donuts um
guys we don’t we never eat ants from
actually because it’s this experience we
want to share with you
[Music]
welcome to my cooking show this is
cooking in my tin can van with Sarah I’m
not a great cook or baker or anything
this is gonna be a little outside of my
comfort zone but we’ve gotten asked a
lot how our oven works in our van and
truth is we love our oven but we’ve
never done anything quite like this so
now that we have our apples we’re going
to bake an apple pie
I think I need to preface this and say
that when I found this apple pie recipe
before going to the grocery store I
looked up apple pie recipe with fewest
ingredients because we live in a van and
we don’t have room to store extra bag
flour whatever so this may not be the
best apple pie recipe but we’re gonna
see how it works in the past when I’ve
made pies I have made my own homemade
pie crust that’s not happening today
just for time and ingredients sake I
just didn’t feel like dealing with it so
thank you Trader Joe’s or no who do we
advise Thank You Whole Foods for your
delicious freezer section pie shells we
will see how they work
also if you can see anything out the
back window right there
we’re still in the grocery store parking
lot nothing like going to the grocery
store and then coming out to the van
they could buy all right let’s do this
[Music]
so we’re sort of in the middle of the
making the PI process right now and
we’re realizing this was a very poorly
planned event we know you might have a
mixing bowl because it broke a long time
ago we brought like an old glass when
with us from our house and that was a
stupid idea it broke so we don’t have a
mixing bowl anymore so we’re gonna make
do I’m gonna try to mix it all up in
this little pie so we’re gonna see how
this goes
we have to leave this open while the
oven is preheating event so we try to do
most of our prep work for cooking before
we preheat the oven so like chopping
veggies and apples today like we usually
do that earlier so we can use this
surface and then once we turn the oven
on we have to leave it open because it
vents from back here and this isn’t
gonna be the most professionally made
pie so if anybody wants so if anybody
out there wants to invite us over for
Thanksgiving cuz if none this is what
its gonna look like
[Music]
okay
[Music]
oh my god
[Music]
it’s not supposed to be like runny like
that kind of watery all right try it out
it’s really hot
is it a pie actually better than I
thought all right so here’s my analysis
it didn’t cook properly but I don’t
think it’s cuz of the oven I think it’s
because I’m a really bad Baker so if
anybody has any tips about how to make
the pie right so it doesn’t do this
please let me know it’s actually it’s
one of the things that looks really not
good but it actually tastes really it
tastes like an apple pie it just doesn’t
look like it so just eat with the
blindfold on so if you’d like more of
cooking in the tank and van leave it in
the comments below maybe we’ll try
making something else can we bake it
