A dessert "apple pie" that represents Europe and the United States. Do you think "Apple pie is the same" because of its simple ingredients and its slightly sober appearance compared to cakes and tarts? (At least I thought so ...)

This time, I would like to introduce an apple pie that the author, who challenged with such a light feeling, couldn't get enough of just one.

■ A procession that appeared on Kotto Street on weekdays

A brick store located along Kotto-dori in Aoyama, just outside the B1 exit of Omotesando Station. Somehow people are lined up even on weekdays ... There is no eye in the procession (?) The eating editorial department. When I approached it, it was an apple pie specialty store called "GRANNY SMITH".

Western!
Western!

Apparently everyone is lining up to wait for the eat-in. In the case of To go, it seems that you can just go into the store and order.

If you are in a hurry, To go

Eat-in starts at 600 yen per cut, and To go starts at 400 yen, and the prices are slightly different, but in the store, you can add ice cream to a warm pie . I can't go against this charm! I decided to line up with them. According to the clerk, it takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the timing of replacement.

However, while waiting, To go customers come one after another and return with a large paper bag. I was wondering if I could run out of food inside, but don't worry because apple pies are being baked one after another in the store. ... or rather too greedy?

■ We are making "Grandma's Apple Pie" by hand!

It took about 30 minutes to get to the seat on this day. Originally, Granny Smith opened in Mishuku, Setagaya-ku as a To go specialty store. The Aoyama store also has a small number of seats, about 10 seats. The wood-like interior has a warm atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a foreign house.

The concept of Granny Smith is "grandma's taste". We offer 5 types of regular menus centered on apple pies from France and the United Kingdom, and several types of seasonal limited menus, one by one by hand. I didn't know that apple pie is different in each country.

Today's order is "French Damand" with almond cream (600 yen per cut, 400 yen To go).

It's said to be the most standard apple pie, but after eating a bite, I faint in agony! Butter-rich puff pastry, moist and smooth cream, and juicy boiled apples with cinnamon scent melt and disappear as soon as you put them in your mouth. Largely crushed almonds are a good accent. Maybe it's the first apple pie that has such a harmonious pie crust and filling. The sweetness is relieved and gentle, and it has the familiarity that you always find on the table. Seriously ... Will foreign grandmas bake such a delicious apple pie?

■ I can't stop with just one

Hmmm, I don't know when I'll come to eat next time ... Suddenly, my forefinger was hit by a mysterious sense of crisis, and it will grow to the limited apple pie "Grannie Smith" (650 yen per cut / 450 yen To go) until next spring.

This is a luxurious use of the green apple "Granny Smith," which is popular in Europe and the United States but rare in Japan. You can enjoy the crispy texture of large-sized apples. Granny Smith itself has a stronger acidity than Jonathan, but with the scent of cinnamon, sweet filling and crunchy crumble, it's a perfect balance. You can fully enjoy the refreshing green apples.

Each has a different taste and is not too sweet, so you can eat as much as you want. But should I just have one more ...?

At the end, we will have a limited menu "Raspberry and white chocolate apple pie" (650 yen per cut / 450 yen To go) until White Day.

It looks cute

This is an apple pie with a strong raspberry acidity and chocolate taste, like a fruit tart. It looks gorgeous and may be perfect for White Day.

The rich cream and ice cream on the plate also goes well with other pies. By the way, you can pull out the ice cream (50 yen discount) and topping the sauce for free, so you want to try various things and find your favorite customization.

We also sell halls and assorted boxes at To go, so you will be delighted not only for home use but also for gifts and souvenirs!

I thank my grandmother and Granny Smith from all over the world, but I ate too much, so I decided to go home on foot.

The apples must have been carefully raised.
