Ringo, which recently opened in Tokyo's Ikebukuro area, serves miniature apple pies. Each pie (¥399) is hot and features a glazed exterior that delivers a satisfying crunch.
The gooey interior is a mix of soft apple filling and milky custard cream, the combination of which strikes a balance between the tart and sweet flavors. Lines outside Ringo are long — it took nearly 30 minutes on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon to purchase one — but if you have some free time, these apple pies might be worth the wait.
