Creme Brulee
Tiramisu
Cheesecake
Chocolate Mousse
Sorbet
Apple Pie/Tart/Fancy word.
That's the list you'll be handed at 97% of all restaurants when you ask for a dessert menu.
I'll give you that desert is a tricky business, but the lack of imagination at even very good restaurants is astounding. Maybe that's all people order anyway, but to be perfectly frank, if your restaurant is functioning solely on market conditions you should just franchise a Cheesecake Factory cos people line up around the block.
I'm not asking for a revolution here, just a few items that aren't dairy-based and a non-apple fruit option. Apple pie is the shittiest pie. Apples taste like almost nothing. It's cinnamon pie. Apple tart just means less of everything presented prettier but tasting the same. Just change the goddamn fruit in it and I'll be perfectly happy with the tower of unoriginality that you call a desert menu.

Apple pie is the worst. Take something delicious and crispy, then bake it into gross mush. Perfect.
Out here in Austin, Peach Cobbler's on the menu everywhere. Such a better option.
