Still mourning Hubig's? Haydel's hand pies to the rescue | NOLA.com
Ever since Hubig's burned in a lard-fueled fire four years ago, New Orleanians have been longing for sweet hand pies. Next week, Haydel's Bakery hopes to satisfy that hunger with the release of its new treat.
Apple and lemon pies will go on sell next Friday (Sept. 9) at Haydel's Bakery on Jefferson Highway and all Fleurty Girl locations. Chocolate and cherry pies will follow.
"Once we get the process fine-tuned, they'll be distributed through the city," Dave Haydel said.
The Haydel's pie is baked, not fried. And it uses the same dough as Haydel's full-sized pies, which are sold for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
