Julian California is in San Diego County and today is most notably identified for Apple Pie. Once a silver mining town, the locals have tried to preserve its charm of that era.

Apple orchards dot the highway entering the town advertising Julian's Apple Pie. My husband suggested that we have "our dessert" first and then have lunch in Borrego Springs following our visit to the dessert. We entered a small pie shop which offered Apple Pie, Apple Caramel Pie, Apple Praline Pie, and Dutch Apple Pie. Twenty people was the seating capacity of the pie shop and capably managed by two ladies who were the pie makers, bakers, slicers, and servers. We were amazed at the size of the slice but doubly amazed with the wonderful taste and flaky crust! It is worth the stop if you travel Route 78, just twenty-seven miles east of San Diego. You will be entertained walking the two blocks of the business district able to visualize the bygone era which developed Julian in its earlier days.
