After all, there’s no such thing as a bad apple pie!
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 😉

Pies are to be homemade including crust.
Filling is to be just apples and spices (no other fruits).
Your general recipe must be written and submitted, including the type of apple(s) used.
Bring a printout of the recipe or email it to friendsofactonlibraries@gmail.com.

Our book sales and other activities raise money which we then distribute to these 10 entities. The funds we give to the elementary school libraries represent almost 50% of their book buying budget.
Most books are $2.00 each (except kids softcover, which are $1.00). Everything is half-price on Sunday!
