It just wouldn’t be the holidays without dessert. And we’ll venture a guess that once you try Night Kitchen Bakery’s double crust apple, apple crumb and pumpkin pies and rustic apple cranberry tart, they’ll have a starring place on your holiday table for years to come.
These pies aren’t just the sweet conclusion to the most epic meal of the year; they harken back to the good-ole days. They are an homage to the pies that we no longer seem to make for ourselves. Grandma used to make them, and you can bet that when she made her crust from scratch she used real butter. No margarine, no vegetable shortening, just real butter. Her fillings were fresh Granny Smith apples, not a canned syrupy concoction.
This is how Amy Edelman, baker/proprietor of Night Kitchen Bakery, makes all of her pies. She’s capturing the love and attention of your grandmother’s lost pie recipes in every layer of crisp dough and every filling of apples or pumpkins. The only wrinkle is that unlike your grandma, Amy’s pies are available to everyone and have to be ordered at least five days before Thanksgiving. We suggest you try the double crust apple pie for $25. Her apple crumb pies, pumpkin pies and cranberry apple tarts are $24. The hard part is deciding which of Amy’s wholesome pies are going to make it to your dinner table!
