Fourth Of July 2017: Best Apple Pies In Fredericksburg According to Yelp

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — For those of a certain age, you probably remember a little ditty that accompanied a car commercial in the 1970s: "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet." Well, putting the make of the vehicle aside, the first three items indeed have come to encapsulate an essence of America that may be idyllic but nonetheless rings true for a lot of folks.

All of which us brings us to Independence Day. For many, a Fourth of July picnic simply wouldn't be complete without, yes, hot dogs but perhaps more importantly, apple pie. Yep, apple pie. Straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

So, in that vein, where are some of best area restaurants or bakeries to get a good apple pie for the 4th, or anytime, for that matter? Funny you should ask. The restaurant website yelp.com has suggestions, primarily based on reader reviews about such local establishments. There's quite the wide variety here.
