Title:: Apple Blossom Festival: Apple Pie Baking Contest
When:: 05.03.2012 9.00.am
Where:: Marker-Miller Orchards - Winchester
Category:: May 2012

Description

Once again, “peel your apples” will be heard on Thursday, May 3, at Marker-Miller Orchards Farm Market located at 3035 Cedar Creek Grade, Winchester, VA.

The contest was first held in 1952 with Betty Crocker as one of the original judges. Held yearly until the early 1980’s this contest took a break, but is back again. We are looking for the best homemade apple pie. Nothing is as comforting, as nostalgic, or as a ”peeling” as a freshly baked apple pie, and how appropriate during the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®. Join us for this year’s Apple Pie Baking Contest. Try your recipe!
