National Blueberry Pie Day: Annandale's Top Bakeries

ANNANDALE, VA — Friday is National Blueberry Pie Day, a day to celebrate one of the most quintessential deserts in the U.S. Blueberry Pie as we know it originated more than a century ago, in an age of settlers and pioneers.

In fact, one industrious traveling pioneer cook on the Alaskan frontier had her own unique recipe that required rendered bear fat, a dog team, snow, 15 cords of wood, 50 pounds of sugar and a kettle, according to the National Parks Service.

If that all seems a bit fussy, you could just keep things simple and let someone else do the baking. Here are the best bakeries and pie shops near Annandale, according to Yelp:

• Breeze Bakery Cafe
• Tous Les Jours
• Manoa Bakery Cafe
• Shilla Bakery
• Tiffany’s Bakery
• The Swiss Bakery & Pastry Shop
• Gabriela’s Creations
• Maribeth’s Bakery
