Creativity is essential to a varied competition. Do not limit your entry to “traditional” two–crust apple pie. We are also looking for a variety of the fillings in the pies, but the pies must include at least 60 percent apples in the filling.
Recipe needs to be included with the pie.
Each apple pie winner will be certified, allowing them to enter the state competition at the Farm Show. Premiums for the Farm Show competition will be: first place, $160; second, $100; third, $70; fourth, $40; and fifth, $35.
At the Farm Show level, the contest is jointly sponsored by: The Pa. Apple Marketing Program, the Pa. Department of Agriculture, and the Pa. Association of County Fairs.
