Why People Go Crazy For This One Pie In Small Town Texas
Pie is a classic fall dessert that has a rightful place in every holiday meal, but it has to be done just right. A crispy yet tender crust, sweet filling that isn’t too overpowering, and fresh ingredients still visibly present. The Apple Store in Medina, part of Love Creek Orchards, checks all of those boxes and then some.
