Annual Apple Pie Contest

1 of 2


We were excited to bring you the Annual Apple Pie Contest! The past years have been filled with excitement and lots of different recipes with very different tastes! Whether it’s your grandma’s recipe that’s been in the family for centuries or one you created yourself, we loved trying your pie.


We have people asking months in advance to be a judge of the Apple Pie Contest. There is so much thrill to watch as the judges evaluate each pie and try each piece. After the event is over, they are signing up to get that recipe! Everyone loves a great apple pie.


Do you think YOU can win next year’s event or know someone that could? We are excited to have you and the judges will be waiting for your pie!

Four judges had the "Apple" of a time picking the winners of this year's great Apple Pie Contest! All of the pies were winners with only a small margin of points separating them.
We want to thank all of the participants for joining us this year!
