This mini salted caramel apple pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds features Hudson Valley apples enhanced with Angostura bitters, house-made caramel, and flake sea salt in a personal 3-inch format. Heat briefly to refresh the crust and warm the filling, serve as elegant individual desserts that eliminate sharing, or pair with vanilla ice cream where temperature contrasts enhance the complex flavors.
Brooklyn, NY
Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie bakery was founded in Brooklyn in 2009 by sisters and pie makers Melissa Elsen and Emily Elsen. Their business is focused on making pies in a truly handmade way, using seasonal and fresh ingredients sourced from local orchards. The care that goes into their homemade pies is demonstrated in the unique and outstanding flavor, unlike any other in New York City. The sisters started the custom pie business out of an apartment in Crown Heights, until opening their first brick and mortar in Gowanus in 2009.
