Second-Place Apple Recipe Winners from the Mills Apple Festival

This year The St. Charles Builders Home & Remodeling Show introduced its first Mills Apple Festival, presented by Mills Apple Farm. Well, what’s an Apple Festival without an apple recipe contest?

Yesterday we featured the first-prize winners of the Apple Pie Recipe contest. Today we’re featuring the two second-place winners for the apple pie recipes and dessert recipes contest. Susan Pini from St. Charles, MO, won for her delicious Peachy Cinnamon Apple Pie, and Patricia Robin from Hazelwood, MO, won for her Dutch Apple Treat. If you would like to try their recipes at home, here they are:
