Mouthwatering Holiday Pies from Six Rhode Island Bakeries

Eateries all over the state add this classic holiday pastry to their menu

Posted

Fall isn’t just the most colorful season, but also the most flavorful: Cinnamon, nutmeg, apple, and pumpkin are infused in every candle, drink, and dessert. While plenty of bakeries have put their own twist on seasonal treats – think whoopie pies, crumbles, and even pop tarts – there’s something special about your fork piercing through a buttery pie crust to scoop up the perfect bite of spiced filling. Whether you like it hot or cold, with whipped topping or ice cream, a slice of pie is an undeniably classic fall rite of passage – and here are just a handful of the Rhode Island patisseries baking up tradition.
