The 12 Days of Christmas – Mehaffies Style!
December 20, 2024
If you’ve been enjoying the best pies in Dayton, Ohio since you were little, you may think you know them all. But…what if you’ve forgotten about those classic flavors your Grandma used to have at every holiday? We wondered about that too, so we’re sharing a little about three of Mehaffies most well-loved, traditional pie flavors - Sugar Cream, Blueberry Crunch, and Butterscotch.
Keep reading, you’re about to have all of the warm, fuzzy feelings.
Sugar Cream Pie
You can feel Grandma's hug. It’s strong but gentle and you can smell the nutmeg and other spices that fill her kitchen. A Sugar Cream Pie from Mehaffies wouldn’t be the real thing if it didn’t have a sprinkle of nutmeg as its crowning glory - and we have no plans to change this signature feature!
Often confused with a Custard Pie that has an egg base, Sugar Cream Pie has a creamy, heavy whipping cream base. It’s light and airy and compliments any meal you choose to pair it with. We found some interesting information about the Sugar Cream Pie from our neighbors in Indiana (it is their state’s official pie after all). Take a moment to read, maybe your Grandma remembers its history too.
“I wasn't at the bakery but had their pie at the Preble County Pork Festival. The sugar cream pie is sooooo good.... I had two slices!!”
Blueberry Crunch Pie
Blueberry pie has a fascinating history as a beloved American dessert, tracing its roots back to the early 19th century. While the classic blueberry pie is a well-loved treat, Mehaffies Blueberry Crunch Pie is a standout example of pure pie innovation! This modern take layers a classic filling with a buttery crunch topping, enhancing the natural sweetness of the berries while adding an irresistible texture. We’d love for you to experience our take on this delicious pie - pop it in the oven to warm, then sit back, relax, and enjoy. You’ll be happy you did!
“I love this place…I even make trips from Columbus just to go here. The pies are amazing!!!”
Butterscotch Pie
We are pleased to share that Butterscotch Pie is back and we couldn’t be happier! The origin of this pie flavor is somewhat of a mystery. Some contend its origins are in Scotland, while others contend it’s a Midwestern-Southern American delight. Regardless of where it was born, at Mehaffies Pies, we believe we’ve mastered it with our original, from-scratch recipe. Adding this delightful cream pie with whipped cream top is certain to brighten anyone’s holiday event.
There it is - you're sufficiently hungry, your mouth is watering, and you can’t wait to smell those familiar holiday spices in the kitchen. Mehaffies would love to help bring back memories from days past with your Grandma, or be a part of creating new memories at your next meal or special gathering. Stop in or call today - your Sugar Cream, Blueberry Crunch, or Butterscotch Pie is waiting for you…so are the memories.
