Award Winning Apple Pie!!

     The public library held it's 2nd Annual Pie Bake Off today and I nervously prepared my Crumb Topped Apple pie to enter.  Having never entered any competitions in the past, I had absolutely no idea what the judges would be looking for or what my competition would look like.  I hurriedly baked the pie this morning and took it straight from the oven to the library.  I had to pick up my son from school on the way and I wasn't trying to get the pie to the competition on time.  As I carried it into the library, I was shaking a bit because I was soooooo nervous!  After entering the room where the contest was taking place, I realized that there was some real competition.  The pies were so beautiful and mine was pretty, but not as nicely done as some of the others...you could tell that they had been lovingly made. 
     We had been told that they would be serving pie starting at 2 pm, so Adam and I left with the promise of returning for a taste of some of those scrumptious pies (Adam wanted the pumpkin pie so badly that he talked about it for two hours after we left!)  Just as we were about to get ready to head back to the library, I got the phone call that my pie was the winner!  I was completely shocked and delighted that the judges had chosen my pie. 
    So now, I can change the name of my pie to an award winning apple pie!  I truly hope that you will find this recipe just as delicious! 

 

The pie that I made for this contest was made using my perfect pie crust, apple pie filling, and crumb topping.  Check out those recipes right here...
