Raddatz, of Grafton, used Oreo cookies to create a dark and flavorful crust, then built upward from there – not unlike the actual Eiffel Tower’s construction.
The pie, which she titled “Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Crumble Topping,” combined a traditional crust with the crumbled topping, surrounding the fruiting insides. On top were a number of decorative – and tasty – adornments.
Dufault uses lard in the crust but butter in the pie’s crumble topping. It provided a tasty contrast in the pie’s outer surfaces; meanwhile, tucked neatly inside was a sweet and cinnamony apple filling.
