All of the pies at Mom's are made fresh with local ingredients. In fact the berries used fresh fruit pies are grown on the owners farm outside of Leesburg VA. At this time of year you will find blackberry, raspberry and rhubarb fruit pies available. And yes you can actually find someone peeling apples in the kitchen making your choice of the traditional two crust apple pie or the brown sugar crumb topping. In the fall the pies change to the classics you would expect for Thanksgiving and Christmas with pumpkin, mincemeat and pecan.
Don't want a whole pie around the house tempting you? Not to worry you can find pie by the slice for just a little indulgence. With any good bakery the pies aren't the only thing you find a Mom's Apple Pie. If you time your visit right you can grab one of the great spinach and feta cheese croissants for dinner and there are always the cookies. Looking at the stack of coconut macaroons is enough to put you instantly into sugar overload. Mom's Apple Pie Shop just isn't about the sweets. During the summer you can also find fresh veggies straight from the farm.
In Occoquan, Mom's also has a General Store that carries a wide selection of wines, organic groceries and bait. Yes that is fish bait. Occoquan is on the river and you will see the locals out on their boats casting a line for dinner.
The next time you are headed to Occoquan VA take a few minutes to enjoy the sights and smells of Mom's Apple Pie Store. Your waistline might not be glad you did but your stomach will be very happy!
