Flavin’s favorite, blueberry, is one that is made with wild
blueberries from Maine.
“We’ve had folks come in and ask us to make specialty pies using
all kinds of fruits, nuts and unique combinations, including
mangoes and lychee fruits, native to the area.”
Flavin said her best-selling dessert pie is as All-American as
baseball, an old-fashioned apple pie that is made with subtle hints
of nutmeg and other spices swirled into the filling.
