Yesterday in Waycross GA the National BBQ Festival held there 9th annual Smokin in the Swamp BBQ Competition. Time restrictions did not allow us to enter the BBQ portion of the festival so we decided to enter the Apple Pie Competition because we only had to make a pie and drop it off and wait for the results.
Nancy's apple pie recipe is in its third generation of existence. Very little has changed over the years and the pie is pretty much the same. So we decided it would be fun to enter this pie and see what happens. Nancy was up against hundreds of professional BBQ'ers and many local folks so the competition was fierce. Typically the professional BBQ'ers win the top 10 positions so we had little chance.
Nancy's Apple Pie was a 4th Place Winner and no one was more surprised than us. People at the festival tell us that this was the first time in the competition that someone other than a professional BBQ'er had ever placed in the Top 10 let alone 4th place.
Nancy has been making this pie for me for over 10 years and I have been telling her that it is the best I have ever had. In fact it is the only apple pie I do eat because eating another pie feels like I am cheating on her.
Congratulations Nancy we are very proud of you!
