Dollywood has many things for families to enjoy, like water slides and a spa.

But Dollywood also sells a very expensive apple pie. It costs $229!

[{"selector":"#anim-9dfbdcae-209e-45f2-8784-ed53971d1621 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9528a23d-fb3d-47d5-b858-f267855bbd13","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2617493f-634f-44fe-b8b4-403200cb3181","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 188.63045%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The pie is very big and heavy. It has many apples inside. It was made for a special occasion 13 years ago.

The pie is cooked on a big metal pan. It can feed four people, but each person gets a lot of pie.

Some people on YouTube have tried the pie. They paid $20 for one piece of pie.

Many fans are not happy with the pie. They think it is too much money for a pie. They don’t care if Dolly Parton likes it on TikTok.
