The 2010 APC Crisco National Pie Championships will take place at the Omni
Championsgate in Kissimmee, FL. The NPC is where amateur pie makers,
professional bakers/chefs & commercial pie companies from around the country &
Canada have been competing since 1995. The APC has created a standard of quality
in pie making on all levels. We have a well-established record in the
pie-judging field for both amateur bakers and commercial/ professional bakers
alike. Our commercial members have shown that winning an APC award can
substantially increase sales and market share in that category and the
competition gets tougher each year.

site at the APC Crisco National Pie Championships on a new Sears oven. These
pies and others entered will be judged on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Awards will
