Let’s be honest — pie is the ultimate dessert.
Warm.
Fragrant.
Loaded with fruit and flaky crust.
But let’s also be real:
Making a perfect pie for a crowd?
It’s time-consuming.

A crumbly, golden top
Cut into perfect squares — no forks stuck in the dish, no broken slices
This isn’t just a shortcut.
It’s an upgrade.
