The Maine Pie Co

Because a gluten free option was needed, an apple pie was purchased at Sprouts. In the past, the blueberry was wonderful. The apple was watery, soggy and never firmed as a pie filling commonly does. Overall, disappointing.

Every slice of pie you will cut out will turn out looking nothing like how a slice of pie should look. The fillings are watery, and the crust does not hold itself together well. Although I will say the crust does taste very good. Some people without experience being gluten-free would say that's just how gluten-free things are, but that does not have to be true if you put more effort into your recipe. Not only are they insanely overpriced at $20+ for one pie, but if they were not gluten-free, they would never sell. Now one of my biggest issues with this company, aside from the quality of their pies, is their slogan "This can't be gluten free, it tastes too good!" As a person with Celiac Disease, I find this incredibly offensive. Anyone with actual experience of living strictly gluten-free would know that something being gluten-free doesn't inherently affect the flavor, but rather shows a lack of understanding on baking gluten-free. It is an unnecessary stab and shows a lack of empathy towards people with Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivities to make this your slogan, especially when they are your target demographic. Do better.

Was looking for a good pie for thanksgiving. Was very exited because the appearance looks very neat for it to be gluten free. Between waiting long for it to be done cooking only for it to be watery and not solid not close at all to apple pie. I would have been better off just cooking some apples. For the price this was not worth it at all. I didn't mind paying because I figured it was going to be a good pie but this was truly a waste of money and time . The baking instructions were all over the place and kinda unrealistic I had to read it a few times . Followed them and ended up with a watery pie.
