"Go fore one of their award-winning pies, like the Cider Roasted Apple Pie in Double Cheddar Crust."
"The dough is made by cutting butter into flour, then mixing in umami-rich shards of Cabot Creamery cheddar cheese. This leaves the crust tasting something like a Cheez-It--and we mean that in the best of ways. Pink Lady and Granny Smith apples are deeply caramelized before being baked into the crust, recalling a tarte Tatin. Apple cider jelly, brown butter and vanilla bean are the finishing touches to the predominantly tart filling."
"Los Angeles is home to many an excellent pie shop, but when Cake Monkey burst onto the scene, it threw down the sticky-fingered gauntlet. The cider-roasted apple pie gets an unexpected savory kick with the addition of cheddar crust, officially diffusing the weird looks you get if you’re one of those people who melts cheddar on apple pie."
"We got to get a peek at the new Cake Monkey bakery on Beverly and it is SO CUTE! And every single thing in there is delicious, including the pie! Our Fave: Apple Cheddar."
"This West Hollywood bakery may have “cake” in its name, but it serves up some pretty great pies! From a cider roasted apple pie in double cheddar crust, a brown butter pecan pie to a chocolate cake pudding and a blueberry lemon frangipane pie, Cake Monkey is known for unique offerings."
"Cake Monkey's pies are no joke. Many consider them among the best in the city, in part because of the double cheddar crust on their cider roasted apple."
