Contest Category I: Apple Pies

Little is more comforting or reminiscent of childhood days or country ways than a slice of freshly baked apple pie. There is no better way to SLOW things down than to bake an apple pie. It's therapeutic and a delicious way to say you care.

Vintage Virginia Apples is offering a reward for the Best Homemade Apple Pie in the region. You are invited to bring your freshly baked Apple Pie to the Apple Harvest Festival at Rural Ridge Farm on November 1, 2008.

Contest Category II: Apple Dishes

Again this year, we will continue to offer the new category introduced at the 2007 Harvest Festival. On November 1, bring your favorite dish made predominately from apples, and our judges will decide who has the most delicious recipe!

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE FOR BOTH CATEGORIES:

• Present only one freshly baked homemade apple pie or apple dish before 11am on Saturday, November 1.
• Bring your pie or your dish in a disposable 8-10 inch pie pan or baking pan with a card containing your name, address, and phone number; the recipe used; and the varieties of the apples used in your pie or apple dish.
• Pies and apple dishes will become the property of the Cove Garden Ruritan Club. Slices and servings from the entries will be offered for sale for their benefit once the judging has concluded.
• Pies and dishes will be judged on appearance, taste, and texture
