I tried Dolly Parton’s 25-pound apple pie — Dollywood treat costs $230
You’ll have to work 9 to 5 to pay for this pie.
A Dollywood parkgoer has gone viral on TikTok for sharing the price of apple pie at the Tennessee amusement park, rocking some viewers to their core.
The five-second clip posted this week by user Stonewall Kelsey reveals the 25-pound apple pie sells for a whopping $229.
A single slice costs $19.99, according to the chalkboard signage at the Spotlight Bakery that Kelsey captured during the visit.
The Post reached out to Dollywood reps and the TikToker for comment.
The apple pie at Dollywood is made with 35 apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, butter and sugar, according to a 2018 post on Visit My Smokies, a website dedicated to vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains, where the theme park is located.
The sweet treat is baked in a cast iron skillet for about three hours and presented with an intricate lattice design, the outlet reported.
An individual slice, which retailed for $18.99 in 2018, weighs three pounds, per VisitMySmokies.com. The entire pie used to cost $189.99.
Fans were divided on the price as they weighed in under Kelsey’s clip.
“Does Dolly come with it?” one user joked.
Another claimed: “Went to Dollywood last year for the first time and EVERYTHING IS WAAAAY OVER PRICED. If you took $200 then you can afford a shirt and a bag of candy.”
“They could put Dolly on top of it and I wouldn’t want it for that kind of money!!💯,” someone else declared.
Others find the pie to be appeeling, despite the price.
“I mean..it is 25 pounds to be fair,” one commenter pointed out. “A normal one is 4ish.”
A second viewer insisted, “But if you get the pie you get to keep the skillet and it’s a fancy cast iron sooo.”
Dolly Parton opened Dollywood in Pigeon Forge in 1986. A one-day ticket costs $89 for people between 10 and 61 years old.
In 2019, Delish sent journalist Tess Koman to Dollywood to taste all of their mouthwatering treats, and of course, the apple pie made her list of faves.
“If I could go back in time and swap my wedding cake out for this, that’s maybe something I would consider,” she said as the camera zoomed in on a forkful of the immense apple filling.
