Our Dinner and a Movie series features nostalgic essays on some of our favorite films from the ’80s and ’90s paired with recipes inspired from movie moments. Don’t miss our essay on When
Harry Met Sally.
Raise the bar on Sally Albright’s diner Apple Pie à la Mode with a slice of pear galette, a rustic, free-formed pastry that requires no pie dish (if made correctly, a galette can be eaten
almost like a slice of pizza, as it’s firm on the bottom). I don’t recommend strawberry ice cream with this, but real whipped cream is fine, if you have it. Reddi-wip allowed — although
Sally might not approve.
