On a very special "Martha Stewart Show," we hosted an entire audience full of baking enthusiasts for a one-of-a-kind Pie Contest!

Each member of our studio audience brought a pie for consideration by our expert judges. The judges narrowed down the selection to include only their favorite pies, and Martha sampled each of them to determine which pie would be crowned champion.

The Winning Pie
Top honors went to Marjorie Johnson (pictured), whose English Toffee Pecan Pie wowed Martha and our judges.On the following day's show, Marjorie showed Martha how to bake her winning recipe.
