EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1927, we witness the extraordinary feat of baking the world's largest apple pie in Yakima, Washington. As National Apple Week was being celebrated, a group of dedicated bakers gathered to prepare this monumental dessert. The sheer scale of their creation is awe-inspiring - a colossal pie measuring an impressive 10 feet across. To bring this mammoth pastry to life, it required an astonishing 400 gallons of apples and five cords of wood to heat the oven. The weight alone is staggering; tipping the scales at one ton! This culinary masterpiece wasn't destined for any ordinary occasion either – it was devoured by a hungry crowd consisting of 2000 school children. The image captures not only the historical significance but also showcases the determination and skill involved in creating such a record-setting delicacy. Spectators gather around, marveling at this incredible sight as bakers work diligently amidst an outdoor setting. This vintage photograph transports us back to a time when community celebrations were marked with grand gestures like these. It serves as a reminder that food has always been more than just sustenance; it brings people together and creates lasting memories.
