This version of buko pie, a classic Filipino dessert recipe, paints the flaky bottom crust with cherry jam, while a crunchy cinnamon-kissed crumble sits on top.
In the 1960s, a young woman named Soledad Pahud left the US and returned to her hometown, Laguna, with the goal of opening a bakeshop. She attempted to re-create the American apple pie, which she learned to make during her time abroad, but to no avail. Apples, not native to the Philippines, were hard to come by. Pahud, with the help of her sisters, turned to buko, young coconut, which flourishes across the islands. Destined to become a household name, buko pie was born.
Parts of Pahud’s story may come down to local lore, but no one would contest that Laguna is home to the best buko pies in the land. What began as a family project turned into a family business and Pahud’s bakery, The Orient, continues to draw hundreds of customers daily who hope to get their hands on “the original buko pie.” The province is now home to many shops and hawkers dishing out the creamy pastry.
