Did you know there are two types of pie filling available? One is the regular, commonly available filling and the other is a premium or “more fruit” filling. The premium or “more fruit” filling contains more fruit and less sauce than the regular type filling.
For extra indulgence, drizzle each serving with a small amount of caramel sauce.
