    The Apple Pan

    If you live near L.A. and you don't mind driving to the bougie​ West Side , do yourself a favor and drop by The Apple Pan.

    Founded by Ellen and Alan Baker in 1947, The Apple Pan is a neighborhood landmark in West Los Angeles serving up burgers and pies to a loyal clientele. The small, yet enduring restaurant features a U-shaped counter and plenty of charm. The menu includes original family recipes from the Bakers and Gambles from the American Midwest, dating back as early as 1881. These families eventually made their way out west and made a living sharing their food with their customers.


    The previous time we were there was before we got married, so late 80's, early 90's and I remember they served their sodas in snow cone cups in metal holders. Those were gone this time around
    and they also added outdoor seating.











    The only thing working harder than the Kitchen Staff was the Ticket Printer. Thing was going non-stop.




    I like that they have the dates listed on some of the old recipes.






    Went with the HickoryBurger.










    We ordered our Pie to go: Baked Pecan. I took a pic of it but it didn't do it justice, so I lifted this pic.



    Had a great time.

    Burgers and pie? Genius!

    Thanks for posting this. Used to be on the road a lot in my earlier working days. My hobby was seeking out great "Mom and Pop" joints and sampling something new and delicious. Was rarely disappointed! Miss those days.... and now I want pie!
