This is Four and Twenty Blackbirds' most popular pie flavor. They start with a mix of sweet and tart apples sourced from the Hudson Valley of NY, tossed in a spice blend that includes Angostura bitters, and combined with a homemade caramel sauce. Finished with a light sprinkle of flake sea salt for a perfectly balanced apple pie.
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.
