Do you love the smell of fresh-baked apple pie? If you’re in East Haddam on November 5, follow your nose and you might just find yourself at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, where the delicious aroma of apples will be wafting on the breeze. It's time for Applepalooza.
This annual celebration, now in its ninth year, is the brainchild of parishioners Joy Anderson and Mary Sawyer. Seeking a way to bring their community together, they stumbled upon the idea of celebrating the versatile apple. What began as a simple notion has since grown into a cherished event that draws both seasoned bakers and curious novices.
As you step into St. Stephen’s Parish Hall, you'll be greeted by an abundance of apples, alongside flour, sugar, and butter for pie enthusiasts, or oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for those leaning towards a crisp. Eggs and milk stand ready for cake aficionados, and the ever-present cider press hums in the background, inviting children to toss apples in by the handful.
