Back-to-school season may be here, but summer isn’t over yet. Just ask the folks at Mo Pie, a locally owned pie company selling its baked fruit wonders throughout the metro. There’s still time to savor summer each time you bite into one of Mo Pie’s seasonal fruit creations, says founder Curt Lafferty. Lafferty, who was vice president of KC’s beloved Tippin’s Pies for 21 years, is motivated by his passion to “bring back the taste of homemade pie.”
The Lemon Blueberry Crumble is the company’s first-ever chilled cobbler and one of their first crumbles. Using only the highest quality ingredients, they start by smothering layers of baked pie dough with a bright, summer-y blueberry filling. It’s then topped with a fresh, zesty lemon spread and their crumble topper. This cobbler-crumble combo is perfect for beating the heat and keeping picnic season alive. Find Mo Pies at Fareway Market, the Golden Scoop, select Hy-Vees, Whole Foods and more. For a complete list of distributors, check out Mo Pie’s Instagram, @mo_pie_co or their webpage, mopieco.com.
