Apple Pie Baking Contest in Bucksport

Creatively Maine will host its first Pop Up Shop Apple Pie Baking Contest 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30. Local, amateur bakers are encouraged to bake and enter their favorite apple pie recipes in one of two categories — 17 years and younger or 18 years and older, for judging by local pie experts. Pies must be made entirely “from scratch” and a list of ingredients must be included with each pie entry. Bakers do not have to be present to participate or win. After judging, remaining pie slices will be offered to patrons on a donation basis. All the proceeds from the event will be donated to local community outreach programs such as Bucksport Community Concerns.
