LOCAL EATS
EAT MORE APPLE PIE AT FRANK’S BAKE SHOP & CATERING WHY DO WE LOVE IT? There are certain things about which I will not compromise — my integrity, the wellbeing of my pets, loyalty to friends and apple pie. That’s right, I said it: Apple pie. I’m a pie fan to begin with and apple is my favorite. But is there anything more disappointing to the pie pallet than a slice of mediocre pie consisting of under cooked apples, little to no spices, gelatinous filling and a cold, soggy crust? Thankfully, I can get my uncompromising pie fix at Frank’s Bake Shop & Catering in Bangor where their pie is truly the apple of my eye — not to mention taste buds. The bakery is run by the grandchildren of Frank Soucy who founded the bakery in 1945 with his sons Joseph and Frank Jr. Today the bakery turns out an array of sweet and savory baked goods made from scratch using locally sourced ingredients. And the apple pies? Oh those pies! Hand rolled, shaped and crimped by hand and bursting with Maine apples cooked to perfection inside that crust. Each bite has the perfect blend of apple flavor with cinnamon, sugar and other spices. And if you are not sure you can eat an entire 8-inch or 10-inch pie on your own, don’t worry. At Frank’s, they happily sell pie by the slice. But when a pie is that good? I’ll take a whole one, please. —JULIA BAYLY
