Melt Bakery started serving to the public over the summer, but it wasn't until last weekend that I stood up and took notice. Not because of their ice cream sandwiches, which got rave reviews from my friends, but because they are frying homemade pocket pies on site.
The second I saw "Fried Apple Pies" I 'mind over matter' forced my stomach to make room (this being after a big brunch.) A few moments in the fryer, and I was in warm pie heaven. It's quite possibly the only way you can eat a piece of pie without a fork. The sweet-tart filling, the finishing roll in cinnamon sugar, the fried dough, the freshness of it all; it was hard for anyone to steal a bite. This may be my best dessert of the year. It's seriously outstanding. They're also doing pumpkin pie, and that probably blows everything out of the water.
