The Story Behind Slightly Crooked Pies And Its Handcrafted NH Pies

Let's settle something once and for all: Why do we only celebrate pie around Thanksgiving?

Sure, pumpkin and apple pies are practically celebrities every November, but pie deserves a spot at the table all year long!

A backyard barbecue, a birthday celebration, a family dinner, or just because it's Tuesday... There's never really a bad time to cut yourself a slice!

Speaking of pies, have you heard of Slightly Crooked Pies in Kensington, New Hampshire, yet? If not, then let me catch you up!

The bakery has a personality that's just as sweet as its desserts. In fact, it proudly jokes on social media, "Nothin' says lovin' like a pie in the oven... even if that oven is ever-so-slightly off and the pie comes out a little crooked."

According to the Slightly Crooked Pies website, the bakery creates "small-batch, handcrafted pies made with quality ingredients" and takes orders for holidays and special occasions.

And these aren't just any pies. Slightly Crooked Pies was recently recognized as "Pies with Pizazz" Editor's Pick in this year's Best of NH, making it another delicious stop to add to your Granite State foodie bucket list.

They do offer delicious flavors such as blueberry lavender, black & blue crumble, chocolate cream, pecan, apple and even key lime! But for their limited menu, they roll out specials seasonally. And their July special is Peach!

"Nothing says summer quite like a sweet, juicy peach. We’ve added some warm spice and wrapped them in our buttery, flaky crust for the perfect warm weather bite."

Imagine bringing a fresh pie to your next cookout instead of the usual cookies, surprising someone with their favorite flavor for their birthday, or picking one up simply because you've had a long week and deserve a treat.

Sometimes it's the simplest desserts that bring people together.

So, if you've been looking for a delicious excuse to enjoy pie outside of Thanksgiving season, consider this your sign. After all, every season is pie season, especially when it's baked with a little personality.
