"Here’s to thee, old apple-tree"!

Residents of all ages are invited to submit a baked apple pie to our first Friends of the Acton Libraries APPLE PIE CONTEST.  The public are invited on Sunday Oct 30th to enjoy the pies and more.  Prizes for winner of best under-15 baker, and best adult baker.

So that the judges can compare apples to apples (so to speak) there are a few guidelines.  BUT there are 20 places only... so read the guidelines below then register your name as interested ;-)

Guidelines: Pies are to be homemade including crust. Filling is to be just apples and spices (no other fruits).  Your recipe should be submitted too including the type of apple(s) used. Pies should be in a 9-inch pie plate/pan. Non-edible materials/decoration not permitted.

Contestants must pre-register online here https://link.edgepilot.com/s/06005781/P2aN7aGik0m3KJLKBJYmsg?u=https://forms.gle/3BqgLk23BvByhKaK6 and prepare a printed copy of your recipe to submit with the pie.

Pies must be brought to the library on the day BEFORE the contest (that means Saturday Oct 29th) by 2pm for judging.

Thank you to our judges!!!
