REVIEW: We Tried a 25 POUND (!!!) Apple Pie In Dollywood

Recently, we went to Dollywood theme park in the Smoky Mountains!

The Apple Pie

This colorful, butterfly-filled park is home to some of the country’s best roller coasters, snacks, and live entertainment! There are several famous snacks in the park, and if you don’t check out the 25-pound apple pie, you’re missing out on something BIG.

Dollywood is known for its southern roots, beautiful scenery, and so much more. One of my favorite parts of the theme park is the sneakily good snacks and dining. Over on Showstreet, you’ll find Spotlight Bakery, which is home to the park’s Starbucks location and some delicious treats.

Showstreet!

There are several things to try here (and you can get the famous Cinnamon Bread at this spot), but the most notable item is the famous 25 Pound Apple Pie! We aren’t joking, this massive dessert (complete with a butterfly on top) is $249 for the entire pie, and the skillet is included.

This is 25 POUNDS!

For a slice of the 25-pound pie, it’ll cost you $25! This slice (which took us two hands to hold) is filled to the brim with apple slices, all below a golden brown crust. Multiple people stopped in their tracks to ask where we grabbed this slice!

A slice of the pie!

This pie was something! It wasn’t overly sweet or too sugary, especially compared to the cinnamon bread. It isn’t served warm, which we found to be a little disappointing. The filling was filled with cinnamon and butter, all cooked around those layers upon layers of apples. The apples were soft-baked, but they still had a bit of a bite, which made sure the pie wasn’t mushy.

SO many layers!

The crust was thick and flaky, just like you hope a good apple pie crust will be. Was this the best apple pie in the world? Probably not, but the novelty of it is the size! It was easily shared between 3 people with so much left over. When you divide it among multiple people, this is a pretty good price for the deal.

It took TWO hands to hold!

If you plan on eating it solo, bring some Tupperware to carry it home in! Spolight Bakery is a solid spot for Dollywood sweets and a quick, familiar coffee. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more theme park snacks, reviews, news, and more.
