This is truly the Grand Champion of apple pies. Tootie's Apple Pie is filled with 3 ˝ pounds of fresh apples, mixed with the perfect blend of brown sugar and cinnamon, then covered with a blanket of her secret crust (it's like fine pastry). The result is almost 6 pounds of mouth watering dessert. That's enough to feed more than 10 people a half pound of pie each!

 As many loyal customers have confirmed, you don't have to be an apple pie fan to find yourself hooked on Tootie's Apple Pie. Once you see it, smell it, and then taste it, you will know why it has won so many awards. As Tootie's great-grandson said, “A bite of heaven comes from every Tootie Pie.”
