Good luck to both you and Linda in Orlando. The pie contest is so much fun. Are you each just doing your apple pies, or have you entered any others?? Enjoy the weekend. I had such a good time and met so many nice people last year. I'm looking forward to it again this year. See you at the breakfast on Saturday morning. Happy Baking!

What is a pie shield? What do you moisten the top with?
