Lemon Supreme Pie
I'm back from an amazing experience at the National Pie Championships & Great American Pie Festival in Orlando, Florida. I did not place this year, but I competed and did my best. Thanks to everyone for your support—I'll need it again next year. If you haven't already seen, the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Pie won Pie of the Week April 15th – 21. As for the last week of April, I'm declaring my Apple Champango Pie is the winner. Now is the time to vote for the Pie of the Month. Choose any of the Pie of the Week winners from April and vote for your favorite. The winner will be featured as the new background for PieADay.com
You can thank this pie for bringing this PieADay.com dream alive. I always remember having Lemon Supreme pies from Baker's Square. Unfortunately the last Baker's Square in Los Angeles has closed and there's no where to get my fix...except from my own kitchen. I always knew I needed to make this pie, and I very happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy. I know Kelly will.
