Mom's Apple Pie

About Mom's Apple Pie In 1979, Harry and Betty Carr purchased a small roadside fruit stand formerly known as Hilltopand converted it into a homestyle deli. Also located on the property were 8 acres of Gravenstein apples. The orchard was too small to compete with larger commercial farms, so instead of letting the apples go to waste, Harry decided to give apple pies a go. Oh Betty, you make a great pie. Why don't we sell it?The apple pie sales became so popular that it lead to Mom's Apple Pie being officially founded in 1984. It wasn't long before Betty became known to locals and tourists as simply Mom . There was a "Mister Mom" Betty says when she thinks of her late husband Harry, who passed away in 1992. He was the driving force in starting this wonderful roadside shop where people can come to meet, share stories, and have some wonderful home made foods and of course Apple Pie. It was Harry who suggested to crimp the top crust with perfect thumbprintsand watch the pie to ensure it bakes to perfection. Not all ovens bake the same, Betty cautions. You must baby-sit this pie.
