Freshly picked . . .
from the freezer
 This
is a frozen apple pie with integrity. The apples are organic,
the whole-wheat flour is organic, the dairy is rBST -hormone-free,
there is no corn syrup, no GMOs -- actually, the ingredients
are pretty much what you would use if you were baking at
home. The pie comes from Amy's Kitchen in Santa Rosa, Calif.,
a family business that started making vegetable potpies
in 1987 and is still owned by its founders Rachel and Andy
Berliner , both strict vegetarians. For the apple pie,
apples are tossed with honey, sprinkled with cinnamon,
and then baked in a buttery crimped-edge crust. At home,
after about an hour in the oven or five minutes in the
microwave, the pie is ready to eat. Sweet and overflowing
with fruit, it seems more snack than dessert and is wholesome
enough to eat for breakfast. Amy's apple pies are available
at Whole Foods Market, Wild Oats Natural Marketplace, and
Roche Bros. Supermarkets. -- JONATHAN LEVITT
