Blue Ribbon Recipe

What a fantastic apple pie. The crust bakes up flaky and golden brown. It's the perfect vessel for the warm apple filling that's sweet with notes of cinnamon and vanilla throughout. Using pecans and natural cane sugar for the top layer adds a sweet, crunchy texture. A drizzle of maple syrup and the maple whipped cream really takes this pie to a whole new level. Wow, this is delicious!
