National Pie Championships

I just watched the National Pie Championships on TV!!!
The championships are actually being held in Florida, and there are SO many many many different types of pies!!! Nut, berry, citrus, chocolate, silk (what the hell are silk pies?!?!), apple... and loads more I can't remember.
They are SO good.
Some of them had cookie crusts instead of the normal pastry crusts. Some tried to innovate with creme cheese and peanut butter. There was an extreme apricot pie, a chocolate mousse pie with marshmallow toppings, cherry pie...
One woman made a lemon pie with cookie crust and almond flakes, the filling is layered with creme cheese and lemon cooked with sour cream.
Some added caramel to the apple filling for apple pies. One woman added maple syrup. She also had a pumpkin pie made from her homegrown pumpkins. Judges were full of praise for that pie... I wanna eat some too!!
Pie!!! The word has such a nice ring to it, no? :):):)
