Oprah has named her favorite things that will be in her December O Magazine. One of them has been my favorite for some years. The Carmel Pecan Levee High Apple pie at the Blue Owl Restaurant in Kimmswick, Missouri. This tall pie is so delicious, my husband and I love the taste. The pie has almost 20 thinly sliced apple slices that are piled into a mound with crust on top, covered with carmel sauce and sprinkles of pecans. A masterpiece.

This is the highest apple pie that I have ever seen.

When I look at this pie, it makes me think of the holidays. Do you see all the layers of thinly sliced apples with cinnamon? Oh my goodness! You can cut a slice on Thanksgiving Day and pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds and put a dollop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top.

Total delishness!
If you are ever in Kimmswick, MO please stop by the Blue Owl Restaurant to get a slice or your whole Carmel Pecan Levee High Apple pie to take home and enjoy. Be prepared, one slice of pie will feed two people. And if you are not a carmel apple pie kind of person, there are many other choices that will satisfy your cravings.

If you order the pie from the Blue Owl Restaurant website, on Oprah’s website where she list her favorite things she is so gracious to offer a code which is OPRAH to receive a discount on the purchase price f the pie.
