"Started in 1993 in Wendy and Dave Achatz’s Victorian home in Armada, this Midwestern beacon still centers on the Armada flagship even as it grew to eight Michigan locations, turning out pies made with family recipes and Michigan-grown fruit. Favorites I’d point to are the bestselling Michigan 4-Berry (cherries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries with crumb topping), the over-the-top Caramel Nut Apple (peanuts, pecans, cashews and nearly half a pound of caramel), and the award-winning Cannoli Cream (vanilla pastry cream, mini chocolate chips, and toasted almonds), all made with organic flour and hormone-free butter." - Veronica Stoddart
