Sweet Tooth: Little Pie Company
Here at Rum & Blackbird, we love our exotic eats, but classic desserts are always on our mind, too! When our sweet tooth kicks in, we follow the sugar-dusted, homey smell of fresh-baked pie right to Little Pie Company in Hell’s Kitchen. While the aromas might bring you back to your childhood, this isn’t your grandmother’s pie: check out our fave, the sour cream apple walnut pie, which leaves us scraping our plates, to savor every last bite.
What makes this pie so special? Two words: crust crumb. Say goodbye to flaky pie crusts—once you’ve had this crumb topping, traditional pie will never be the same. You’ll always be wishing for the crunch. On top of that, the sour cream gives the pie filling a creamy tanginess that melds perfectly with the crunchy brown sugar and walnut struesel on top. Instead of chunky apple slices, the pie filling is artfully crafted with thin slices of Granny Smith apples, piled high, with a bit of crunch.
The best part? Waiting on a retro diner stool at the cherry-red countertop while your pie warms up in the oven. It’s nostalgia with a twist.
