The best pies ever!!! My favorite is the Apple Walnut and Peach Praline and they are addictive. They are available freshly baked or frozen and it smells great when you walk into the store. My car club has been organizing trips to CMO for a fe…

I had been driving past this place for 4 years before a friend of mine told me they had amazing apple dumplings and I should make a stop.  That was a year or two ago and I have been kicking myself for not stopping sooner since I’ve moved away. …
