The return of the fried apple pie

​The American fried apple pie dates back at least as early as the first pioneers, who dried slices of the autumn fruit to keep around through winter. Wrapped in a sheath of pastry and fried in butter or lard, these satisfying pies were the original “fast food.” A modern version of the pastry, made with canned apple slices, was a staple of the McDonald’s menu from 1968 until 1992, when the fast-food giant phased out the fried pies for a supposedly healthier baked version.

But one local restaurant has revived the deep-fried apple pie in all its unhealthy deliciousness, serving it very hot, with a cinnamon-sugar crust and a scoop of ice cream.

Which restaurant serves this pie?
