Visit http://www.americas-secret-ingredient.com/ for official entry rules, and to enter your favorite recipe featuring apples. Entries may be submitted until July 26, 2010.
The grand prize is a trip for to the Big Apple (get it?) to the Food Network’s New York City Wine and Food Festival (how cool would that be?) this October.
