Local Baker Takes Top Youth Prize At Farm Show By Dayna M. Reidenouer

The oven was busy at Anna Kreider’s Drumore Township home during the first week of January while the Solanco High School junior finished perfecting her recipe for apple streusel bars. On Jan. 5, Anna and her parents, Wayne and Carla Kreider, carefully chauffeured her baked goods to the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, turned in the tasty treats for judging, and waited to hear the results. Anna’s journey to the Farm Show began with the 2018 Solanco Fair, where she entered in the youth division of the PA Preferred baking contest; all entries needed to include at least two ingredients

certified as PA Preferred. It was Anna’s second attempt; she had entered cookies in the contest as a sixth-grader and won. At the Farm Show, Anna’s cookies did not place, but she and Carla took it as a learning opportunity. “We didn’t know what to expect,” Anna recalled. “We saw the winners had multiple layers in their bars. It was something to keep in mind if I ever wanted to enter again.” After a five-year break, Anna decided to try again. “My mom and I sat down and listed what we liked sweetwise and dessert-wise,” Anna said. They tested multiple varieties of apples before settling on Granny Smith. “They’re a tart apple,” Anna explained. “It

balances (the sweetness) out.” The final result was an eight-layer bar of yummy goodness that took first place at the Solanco Fair. A shortbread-type crust was topped with homemade caramel sauce and sprinkled with chopped pecans and toffee bits. Apples seasoned with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves were laid down next, and then a cheesecake-like filling was poured over everything. The bars were finished with a streusel topping containing old-fashioned oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, and more pecans and toffee bits. After the bars were baked and cooled completely, a drizzle of caramel sauce Anna Kreider (left) accepted her prize from one of the judges finished everything off. as the winner of the PA Preferred baking contest, youth See Local Baker pg 2 division, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show on Jan. 5.
