I hadn't read much about Apple Pie, but like I said, Green Ronin has such a consistent level of high quality that I figured I'd find some great ideas to incorporate no matter what it turned out to be. Well, it turned out to be more AND LESS than I was expecting. I ended up feeling like Apple Pie had a lot of potential, some really great parts in it, but is ultimately held back by some really foolish and limiting decisions, and while I really wanted to like it, I can't avoid the conclusion that Green Ronin's Apple Pie is, without a doubt, the worst quiche I have ever tasted.The design and display were well up to Green Ronin's standards, with a package that fit a high, ten-inch plate. Green Ronin also made Apple Pie available in both oven-heated and microwavable formats, so that fans of both styles can enjoy it. And when I saw the crust, I was in heaven. This is the kind of crust I've been looking for in my quiche for years -- the perfect consistency, an exquisite taste, and a flakiness that answers a lot of my quiche needs. Even with all my other problems, I still feel like I'd gotten my money's worth out of Apple Pie, and I'll be using their crust in my future quiche-nights with my friends.In fact, as I kept eating, I began to wonder if I could have paid Green Ronin more money just to not get anything but the crust, because they've gone and married this wonderful crust to, as I said, the worst quiche I have ever tasted. I know they said they were trying to appeal to a different market, but really, what kind of quiche-eater wants apples in his quiche? I mean, come on. Sure, a little slice of strawberry on the top, or some little bits of fruit or something -- although honestly, that's not really the kind of quiche my friends and I feel comfortable eating anyway. But this is a quiche whose filling is entirely apples, sugar, and a few spices. Where is the cheese? Where is the cream? Where are the eggs? You'll probably think I'm joking when I say that they even include a section on adding whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to Apple Pie, as though that was just what quiche has been missing all these years.I really tried not to be closeminded about Apple Pie, because I like all kinds of quiche. I've eaten quiche with asparagus and swiss cheese, quiche with a wide range of cheeses and no vegetables at all, and even some New Mexican quiche with green chiles and sour cream. So I'm an open-minded person. But Apple Pie is just atrocious as quiche goes. If you can stomach the apples and cinnamon and sugar to get that wonderful crust, I say go for it, but if not, then I suggest you wait and hope that Green Ronin puts out a crust-only edition sometime soon.They're still a wonderful company and I will look carefully at anything they produce, but honestly, looking at Apple Pie, I almost have to wonder if they were even trying to make good quiche at all...</blockquote>
