"This family-owned bakery in Garden Oaks is a Houston institution for its vast menu of house-made fruit and cream pies — all of which are offered first-come, first-serve. Arrive early at around 7 a.m. to choose from more than a dozen falvors, including its traditional apple pie prepared with warm spices and tender apple slices in a double crust, or the pecan pie — topped with a layer of caramelized pecan pieces, which is a holiday favorite." - Brittany Britto Garley
