I have never baked an apple pie in my life - that's beyond amateur in my book. Don't know if I'm brave enough to try. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh Donna...think of the bragging rights if you WON!!!!
DeleteI am not a baker, but this sounds delicious! I am a great "taster" though :) I love fall in New England, all the fun festivals and fairs. Such a wonderful perk of living in CT!
ReplyDeleteColleen, I'm not a baker either, and like you, I'm much better at enjoying other peoples' wares! I agree, we're so lucky to enjoy New England...and the wonderful foods and fairs that go with it!
DeleteYeah, sign me up to be one of the judges because I can't bake a pie to save my life!
ReplyDeleteHa! Jen, you and me both! but I sure enjoy eating them!
DeleteOhhh this is in my hometown.... might have to try it :) Thanks Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny, you were the first person I thought of when I saw this! You'd knock their socks off! Do it!!!!
DeleteJust looking at this post makes me hungry. Will share with the bakers out there (Hey, that rhymes!) Cathy T
ReplyDeleteCathy, you are one funny lady! I'm a BIG apple pie lover myself, and just thinking about pie makes me drool!
DeleteOooh - pie is the one baking area I've never ventured into - but I'd love to be one of those tasters!
ReplyDeleteMe too! We should volunteer to be judges!!! LOL!
DeleteEvery time fall comes around, I feel so sad because I am no longer able to eat apples, due to an allergy. They are the quintesential fall food and apple pie is so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to hear that! Apple pie is one of my favorites! I can't imagine not being able to have it anymore! You're right, they are the quintessential fall food!
DeleteI love enjoying an apple pie or a pumpkin pie (or both!) this time of year! Bet this will be a great event!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love an apple pie contest! This will be FUN!
