Julian Pie Company

3 Best Day Trips from San Diego | Condé Nast Traveler

"Like pizza in New York or cheesesteaks in Philly , everyone has their own favorite apple pie in the historic mining town of Julian, CA, but Julian Pie Company is a sure bet if you're popping into town for the day. You can taste the apple pie in different forms: original, no added sugar, apple with cherries, apple with peaches, apple with mixed berries, and the list goes on. Apple-haters can dig into peach, blackberry, and other options. Opt for a crumb-packed crust if you prefer your pie on the sweeter, more buttery side. There's real tradition here: Julian Pie Company is a family-owned business, slinging pies for more than 30 years (they also own a nearby apple orchard that's 17,000 trees strong)." - Archana Ram
