The Porsches Club of America Inland Empire region had a spontaneous drive to oak Glen today and the team at Apple Annie’s was awesome.

Every late fall, our family looks forward to enjoying apple pie together. There’s something about biting into a perfectly baked pie made from crisp, tangy apples that lifts everyone’s spirits. For years, we’ve made the pilgrimage to Julian, California, famous for its apple pies, especially around Thanksgiving. This year, however, we decided to explore Apple Annie’s at Oak Tree Mountain in Yucaipa, another destination renowned for its pies.

The drive to the restaurant was a feast for the eyes itself, with tree-lined roads awash in brilliant autumn colors. Once there, the culinary journey continued. The Pulled Pork with Apple Caramel Tots was a standout—the sweetness and tartness of the apple tots perfectly balanced the rich, savory pork, creating a combination that felt both surprising and comforting. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts disappeared almost instantly; fried to perfection, their crunch paired beautifully with a flavorful sauce that made them irresistible.
The Chicken Pot Pie was pleasant and reliable, delivering exactly what you’d expect—a comforting, homey flavor without overwhelming the palate. The Mountain BBQ Burger offered solid, familiar flavors, enjoyable without being flashy. And the Thanksgiving Day Special Turkey Plate captured the essence of a home-cooked holiday meal, complete with all the comforting notes you hope for in a festive plate.
Of course, the star of the show was the apple pie itself. While the restaurant serves it alongside meals, ordering pie separately at the bakery afterward can help avoid extra costs that come from adding it to your dining check.

Whether it’s a weekend outing or a short day trip to enjoy some crisp mountain air, Apple Annie’s is perfectly suited for a casual, family-friendly escape. Between the scenic drive, the warm atmosphere, and the thoughtfully prepared dishes, it’s a destination that delights both your senses and your heart.

I got their famous apple pie with ice cream and it was amazing. Ice cream was delicious and it paired well with the homemade pie. Pie was delicious as well. The crust was nice and crispy.

They have a wide assortment of freshly baked sweets as well. Service was great and there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy the view.
