One of the best parts of the holiday season is enjoying a warm slice of pie.
There’s something really amazing about showing up to a party with a beautifully made pie in tow. Sure, you didn’t make it yourself, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t bought with love.
Columbus has some fantastic bakeries and several of them make some pretty heavenly apple pie. If you’re looking to dive headfirst into fall-ish flavors, stick around my friends.
Resch’s Bakery
You can’t talk about any sort of baked goods in Columbus and not mention Resch’s Bakery. From birthday cakes to donuts, they really can do it all. When heading to the bakery for apple pie specifically, you can choose between their Cinnamon Apple Pie and their Dutch Apple Pie. Both are fantastic and it really just depends on if you’re looking for that crumbly Dutch Apple Pie top or the more traditional lattice of the Cinnamon Apple Pie.

Just Pies
Just Pies is one of those places that found what they were incredible at creating and just ran with it. They offer both traditional Apple and Apple Crumb pies. The pies come in 3 sizes, 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch, and vary in price.

Dough Mama
Dough Mama has two locations in Columbus and both serve up their incredible pies. You can grab a slice of their Honey Apple Pie, or you can buy the pie whole. The pie features a flaky, buttery crust, filled with Granny Smith apples spiced with cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg, and sweetened with brown sugar and organic honey.

Mrs. Goodman’s Baking Co.
Once upon a time, Mrs. Goodman’s Baking Co. was actually known as Mrs. Goodman’s Pie Co. Although they’ve added more variety to the bakery through the years, their pies are still their most incredible menu items, in my humble opinion. You can get your apple pie with a double crust or a crumb top, and either way, you’ll be happy.

Ohio Pies
Ohio Pies is truly a labor of love, and you can taste it in every single slice of baker Emily Irvine’s pies. Handmade with locally-sourced and organic (when possible) ingredients, you can find her hand pies, mini pies, and slices at local farmers markets, at Bexley Natural Market every Friday, or you can order whole pies directly.
