Dear Jaynie,

You know next-to nothing (other than what she said in her letter) about Chloe, her husband, or her parents, and neither do I. Yet you chose to get on your elitist high horse and assume the worst, and throw out some ridiculous, irrelevant anti-Obama crap to boot. For all you know, this woman and her husband could be staying off the government dole to live with her parents, and for all you know the entire family could have been expecting to enjoy this pie, or at least get some much-needed humor out of it. And the fact that her parents have an Internet connection is probably the only thing that might get her and her husband jobs.

Have you been on the unemployment line recently? Have a little empathy, and please leave your hatred and your politics at home.

Chloe Duran says:

Dear Jaynie:

Thank you for your thoughtful insight and opinion on my personal life. I wonder, given your direction in your thoughtful and well planned out comment, how on Earth you ended up on this website, because I’m sure you intended to be on some anti-democratic anti-socialist website instead. Pity.

What I will say, is that just because I live with my parents does not mean I take money from them, and in fact, I take nothing from them except the roof over my head. My husband and I live off of our savings and his new part- time job, and there is nothing wrong with buying myself a pie to have a bit of fun every once in awhile (you did fail to address the part in my writing where I mentioned that we do not buy luxuries very often). And for your information, I pay for my own internet.

You know nothing of my circumstances and nothing of my political preference. So I’d like to thank you for demonstrating everything that is wrong with the Country today, by displaying your arrogant ignorance.

Nick says:

I just had one of these pies, thinking that, hey, I like Paula Deen. There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong with the instructions, which only tell you how to warm up this pie.

It’s a frozen pie. You can’t put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 250 and expect it to be done!

Paula, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, even rednecks like you know better than this! Your pie, as presented, SUCKS!

Pat Hodge says:

I just purchased on of her Apple crunchy pies. egads.I was so excitd til I bit into it. I should have known it was raw, the crust was not even brown let alone crunchy.. in the center the cruse was liquid white.. the apples slices, Ihave gotten softer off the tree.. what a disappointment Pat Hodge Watertown Ny

Paula Deen should sue wal-mart. They have almost ruined her good name when it comes to pies [ especially apple ] My wife bought one last week. Worst pie I ever didn’t eat. Crust was not done, apples was not done. they had a bad flavor and mouth feel.[ maybe they were great, great great granny smiths ]. In my opinion ” Paula Deen ” stands for quality products. Too bad she tied in with wal-mart

angela ware says:

I enjoyed the pie,but ask paula if the apples can be just a little tender,absolutly love her show , recipes and her family. the pie cost $8.00

donna says:

The grust was gummy, the apples were crunchy, the oversweetened filling had the consistency of mucilage. I didn’t realize that it had to be cooked more until I read this website. I dug the packaging out of the garbage and–sure enough–on the BOTTOM were the directions to cook 30-40 minutes, in teeny tiny print, mixed in with the list of ingredients. It looked as if it had already been baked. If I wanted a pie that I had to cook, I would have bought Mrs. Smith’s deep dish. I paid $8.00 for this piece of crap.

Diane says:

Paula Deans’ apple pie was horrible, bought it twice thinking just a screw up…….nope its just a horrible pie and to have your famous name placed on it….

Ashley says:

We purchased the Paula Deen apple pie at Walmart two days ago and had it at a church party and everyone, including myself, LOVED it! I was expecting it to be horrible after reading the above, but it was actually pretty good. Crisp apples and the crust on ours was not doughy at all.

Your Name Willy says:

Paula Deen has kiiled her reputaion by endorsing her name on a walmart pie. One bite and I threw the whole pie out. I should have demanded my money back. The only part of the apple not used was the apple peel. It had the stem, the core the seeds, it was the worst pie I ever tasted in my 68 years. I will never ever buy anything with the Deen name on it again.

Pixie says:

I bought the Paula Deen Apple pie and give it negative reviews across the board. The crust tasted like it was flash baked to look good but the taste left you cold. The filling was apples with corn starch with no marrying of the flavors. In other words this pie was not baked for taste but to look suitable for eye appeal. I could not finish my piece because it really is bad after paying $ 8.00 and gave it to my Corgie dog. My dog is relatively intelligent for a four legger and she left it on the plate and left the room. I guess Paula should not create a line of dog food. Well I will try anything once and that’s it for Paula Deen.

Pixie says:

As a follow-up to my previous comment, I bought an Aldi’s Food Market frozen peach pie for $4.79 made by Belmont and it was very good. Aldi’s Markets is owned by the same company as Trader Joe’s. I see Paula Deen has moved on from pies to endorsing mattresses. Hopefully, someday she will find her niche and stay there. A Martha Stewart she is not. I think she loses much of her credibility on her cooking shows when she regularly sticks her finger into whatever she is preparing and samples it. Later when it’s done she serves it to others. Is this what they call “down home.” No wonder the Foodnetwork viewership is down.

dixie mamma says:

well i bought the pie to day and with in 15 mins the whole thing was gone we are going to buy another tomorrow it was amazing ……. it was very full of big slices of apples and the crust is very good also
