Episode 219: The Dutch Apple Pie Frodown

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master


There really isn’t anything more American than Apple pie. Ok, maybe baseball, and obesity is more american. But once you throw some streusal on top it goes from being from the heartland to the land of the Dutch.

In this frodown, I taste test 3 Dutch Apple Pies head to head to head. The contenders: Sara Lee Dutch Apple Pie, Marie Callender’s Dutch Apple Pie and the Mrs. Smith’s Dutch Apple Crumb Pie. Who will come out victorious? The Frozen Food Master will tell you!

This episode and the rest of the episodes published this week are inspired by Evan Kleiman’s Pie-A-Day Project. Evan is baking a pie every day this summer!

    Bring on the shoo-fly pie!
  • My favorite Apple Pie is my own. I also and known for my Apple Crisp. If I freeze it and send it to you does that count lol.

    Fun review Greg. When are we gonna see Mrs. FFM? She's getting braver and helping you from behind the scenes at least! :D

    Streusel is german, not dutch. The Pennsylvania Dutch aren't dutch either - Dutch, in this case, is a perversion of Deutsch. So the pie, being an invention of the Pennsylvania Dutch, is American, but with german roots.
  • a
    europe has more obese people. just thought i'd throw that in.

    also, dangit, i couldn't resist seeing the scores under the video and it spoiled the video in some ways.

    thanks for the entertaining review
