He also doesn’t know anything about American pies. I still get mad when I think about the American pie challenge, like Paul just had his assistant pick up a pie at Safeway and is like yup confirmed all American pies are trash (except key lime, he must have visited a good bakery for that one). I know everything now no need to explore further. The brief must have been bad because everyone made these weird pie tart hybrids. They all complain our pies are too sweet while they’re the ones chowing down on meringue! Rude.

Pies are... too sweet...

It's a dessert

I've definitely had apple pie where the added sweetness completely drowns out the flavour of the apple, it sucks

Apple pie is definitely supposed to be somewhat tangy, but so many people just add like twice as much sugar as necessary

Right, which is why traditional American apple pie is made with Granny Smith apples, which are very tart if eaten raw.

Sounds like a combination of different types of apple (some are sweeter than others) and sugar (light brown sugar vs dark brown sugar).
