Coming on the back of recent research from Foodhub*, which shows Apple Pie is the nation’s most popular sweet pie, frozen food distributor Central Foods has launched a new pre-sliced deep dish apple pie for the food service sector.
The Menuserve deep dish apple pie is packed with juicy, sliced apples encased in golden shortcrust pastry and is pre-portioned into 12 generous slices, which can be individually defrosted as required to help reduce wastage.
Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, said: “We are excited to have added the delicious Menuserve deep dish apple pie to our superb range of frozen desserts and puddings. It’s a versatile dessert which can be included on eat-in menus in restaurants, bars, hotels, cafés and other venues and also works well as a takeaway or delivery dessert option.”
The Menuserve deep dish apple pie, which is suitable for vegetarians, joins a top quality selection of Menuserve desserts offered by Central Foods to the food service industry, including roulades and cheesecake-style desserts.
For maximum convenience and to further reduce wastage, it has a defrosted shelf-life of four days when chilled.
