Purchase this pumpkin pie for the Xmas holiday dinner dessert from Whole Foods whom I trust for standing by the quality of the products and produce that they sell. Decided to try it Xmas Eve, and glad I did. It was horrible - absolutely tasteless, both pie and crust ( if you could call that mush pie crust ). Unsure if the crust was suppose to be a graham cracker type pie crust but it was tasteless, fell apart because it was stale as supposed to crumbly. The expired or purchase by date is December 28. I have baked many a pie and pie crust, but I cannot fathom how this pie and its crust could have passed the freshness, sniff and taste test with Whole Foods. I shop at Whole Foods for the quality of their food items, if I wanted mediocre foods products I would have shopped at a lesser quality supermarket, I really am disappointed in Whole Foods for agreeing to stock and sell this poor quality item in their stores. I will think twice before purchasing any other dessert item from Whole Foods again. The Xmas Holiday Season is not the time for Whole Foods to be experimenting with different sellers and their products as shoppers are depending on Whole Foods to have made the best product choices possible to present to their customers. I say that believing that Whole Foods has not been doing business with this company up until this horrific mistake. Upper Pie Crust has every right to make and sell mediocre products but shame on Whole Foods for accepting this low end, lack of quality product into their stores. Never again.

Ive bought a Christines Upper Crust no sugar added apple pie twice at Whole Foods. The first time, I thought it was passable. The crust was way too crumbly and was simply not tasty (dry and flavorless). The filling is chunks of apples with almost no spice. The pie is expensive and at that price I certainly expected more. Because it was my first time buying this pie a couple years back, I thought maybe I got a bad one. Nope. I bought it a second time over this 2016 Thanksgiving. Had the very same problems. The crust is flavorless and dry, the apple filling has almost no spice and, in fact, there was at least one bad apple baked into this pie (putrid taste in parts of the pie). Ive tossed half of the pie in the bin, which is unheard of for me. Even if the pie is barely passable, Ill still eat it to prevent waste. However, because of the bad apples in this one, Ive tossed it. No sense in getting sick from food poisoning. Note, that I also bought a Whole Foods branded Marionberry pie at the same time (1/3 the price) and that is what I expect from a pie: flavorful, the crust holds up and filling is intense and rich. So much for Christines Upper Crust pies. I wont be buying them again.

I brought 2 of the gluten free pies to Christmas dinner and they were sensational!!!! They were so much better than the other regular pies that were presented. Everyone asked where they came from! I loved the crust, it was perfectly flakey and very tasty. The apple and berry fillings were super delicious too! I will use ANY excuse to bring these pies to a gathering.

Honestly, Christine! I am from a family of meticulous bakers, and this is best pie I have ever tasted: Berry Supreme. I have not tasted your apple, cherry, or pecan pies. Lol, I have only purchased probably ten or twelve of the Berry Supreme. My next visit, I am going to venture out for the apple, and I will let you know...

I bough an apple pie for x-mas and it was the worst pie I have ever eaten The crust was extremely dry and even though we put a little ice cream on top the crust was not eatable. Everyone at the table was surprised at how bad it as and did not eat what they call pie. It was a shameful experience

The most delightful and righteously, on the money real pie crust; with the exact correct texture of fine pastry pie crust, which is a true trick, in the false world of Gluten free...!❤
