Apple Pie “Bake-off” Winner announced
Summit Downtown, Inc. (SDI) once again hosted another Sunday Funday at the Summit Farmers Market on October 9. These events are always popular with customers at the Market as they show off the talent of many local amateur bakers like those who participated this time in the Apple Pie “Bake-off”.
Coming in first place was Kylie Freeman, a 14-year-old resident of New Providence who frequents the Summit Farmers Market and is a sophomore theatre major at APA. The judges had a hard time choosing between what they described as all really delicious entries. The first-place recipe can be found on the SDI website.
