Yesterday, 2-4-10, my husband went to Wal-Mart and came home with the Apple Crunch Top Pie. It really looked good in the package but not when it sat on the plate. My husband is a marvelous cook and pies are his specialty. He is always looking for a new kind, flavor, etc. and when he say the Wal-Mart Special, he brought it home. The top crust looked and was delicious but the rest was a big disappointment. The apples did not have any flavor, they were soft/mushy, there were no spices detected (cinnamon), and the bottom crust was not cooked through. We are not going to eat the rest because we know we can do better by using Washington State Apples and a good receipt. We did not pay $7.50, it was on sale for $4.50. That price was way to high for what we got.
Paula, we enjoy watching your programs and getting new ideas for ourselves. But do become more diligent in what you put out to the public and do take our criticism to heart and make good decisions.

I received a Paula Deen pie from someone else. I didn’t have the negative experience these people are talking about. I personally thought it was the most delicious apple pie I had ever had. If you check the ingredients online, it has applesauce listed. Maybe these people are not used to that in a pie. As for the crust? It probably could be put in the oven to finish baking to their liking. My family also liked the pie.

I just bought a Paula Dean Rum Pecan Pie and it is beyond disgusting…..how can you screw up a pie so badly? It was so sickly sweet is made my teeth ache and to me had little to no pecan flavor…..just gross.
My hubby is eating a piece of the Paula Dean apple crunch pie as we speak…..he says it tastes ok, but the crust is very soft and mushy.
Paula Dean….your pies bomb, and for signifactly more $ than the other walmart pies they had sitting there….you get a big “yuk” from us and we certainly won’t be buying something with your name on it in the future.

I have seen first hand how many pies that have come back and the comments are all the same. I too bought one and brought it back. Walmart needs to rethink their partnership.

Paula, Paula, Paula -take back your pie!
ditto – on the comments of a soggy pie.
We did salvage it! We cooked it in our toaster oven at 400 for about 10-15 minutes. It is now edible.
