Prior to the contest, Richland Manor residents Ruth Wildermuth and Michele Cardone made a homemade crust for the Caramel Chocolate Apple Crunch Pie they were entering in the contest on behalf of the residents Cooking Club.

“I’m so excited to enter our pie in the contest,” Ruth said. “I’m especially looking forward to tasting the other entries.”
