"I could go on and on as just about everything I try is standout, including desserts, such as fried apple hand pies, the sweet fruit-filled version of an empanada and one of my favorite barbecue follow ups."
"This specialty pie shop in the Bishop Arts District is the go-to place for a hefty slice of handmade dessert fresh from the oven. Popular picks include the Lord of the Pies (a deep-dish apple with cinnamon streusel)."
"The apples practically ooze out of the flaky, crisp pie dough. They are wonderfully soft and sweet and the crust is perfectly buttery, but what puts this over the top is that salty rich caramel – it is liquid gold."
"What we did taste: Apple Cherry with Oat Crumble – a brilliant balancing act of sweet and tart, soft fruit and streusel top."
"The top crust is crunchy and sugary, like a luxurious cookie; the bottom crust is flake-tender; the apple filling in between the crusts is soft with pleasant bite, gently seasoned, and just-right sweet."
"The signature Skillet Apple Pie is served hot with maple ice cream, and it's one of the most transcendent flavors in Austin."
"One of their first pies, which continues to be one of the most popular, was the Salted Caramel Apple Pie. For this pie they use fresh apples from Hudson Valley-based Wilklow Orchards, which makes a huge difference."
"The crust was gorgeous—a perfect deep golden brown, shimmering with sugar crystals. The apples inside (a mix of Granny Smith, Gala, and Pink Lady) were caramelized and heavily spiced with cinnamon and clove."
"Where to Find the Best Pie in the U.S.: Beiler's Bakery in Philadelphia - They keep their pies simple and delicious, like the harvest apple, which comes with an apple filling topped with cinnamon and vanilla icing."
"Here you find jim-dandy pies daily made on savory crusts – a double cruster in the case of apple, which is oh-so-good a la mode, and a single, supporting crust underneath the marvelous cream pies."
