Niki Durig looks to a national franchise to share her dessert, Sweet Apple Pie Fries.
It all started with an addictive twist on an America classic that became a local sensation. Nine years later, Niki Durig of Portland, Ore., has her eyes on creating a national franchise that would share her dessert and opportunity with the country. The product is called Sweet Apple Pie Fries!™
"We take Granny Smith apples, cut them into thin slices, hand batter them, fry them, dust them in cinnamon and sugar, then serve them with whipped cream and caramel," explains Durig. "People love them. We've sold them at fairs, festivals, carnivals and other events in the Northwest . . . We recently finished filming with the Food Network Channel and have received many invitations to big shows."
