Best apple pie ever. Need to get more. Husband eating his macadamia cookie, he said it's the best cookie he ever ate.

Ice cream and fried pie were so good! We visited this delicious local ice cream shop while exploring the Smoky Mountains, and everything was amazing. I will absolutely miss that taste. Highly recommend — and the people were so friendly!
