Here are the top places in the Upper Valley to find fresh pies this summer.

Umpleby's Bakery Café, Hanover

Umpleby’s does it right when it comes to making their baked goods irresistible. The owners Charles and Carolyn Umpleby, work to make their place a “bakery utopia,” and it’s even said that “the Devil won’t come to Umpleby’s for fear of being baked in a pie.” Here you can’t go wrong with their Apple Crumb Pie. The apples in the filling are crisp and not too sweet where it is nicely paired with a delicious sweet crumble on top. In case you are interested in a less traditional pie this summer, try out their Pear Cranberry Crumb. It’s still delicious, but you get a lovely mix of flavors between the tart cranberry and a softer, sweeter flavor of the pear, along with the classic delicious crumble topping. Umpleby’s is also a Vendor at the Norwich Farmers Market, so that you can keep an eye out for their pies there! For more information, check out their website.
