Apple Club Cake Apple Pie
The apples appear to be locally grown Kogyoku.
The glossy surface of the pie is beautiful.
Because it is not freshly baked, the pastry is not sharply crisp, but apple moisture gives it a pleasant tenderness and the butter aroma is delicious. A generous amount of tart-sweet Kogyoku makes one pie highly satisfying. Warming it lightly in a toaster should revive the freshly baked flavor. Apple Club products are loved by local residents, so buy one if you encounter them. Other recommended Aomori souvenirs are introduced below.
