The American Pie Council (APC) is a US-based lobbying organization and club.[2][1]

The organization is based in Lake Forest, Illinois, and offers amateur, professional, and commercial memberships.[1][3]

The APC sponsors National Pie Day, which is held twice a year on January 23 and December 1.[4][5][6][7]

It has held the National Pie Championships, a baking contest for amateur, independent, professional, and commercial pie bakers, since 1995.[3][5][8] It is judged by volunteers.[9][10] Recipes become the property of the APC.[10]

The competition is open to members and non-members and is held in Orlando, Florida.[9][11]

The competition was interrupted in 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the independent and commercial baking divisions were held in 2023 and all four divisions in the 2024 competition.[12][8]
