Behind the Scenes of Iconic Food and Holiday Ornament Production

The Magic of Apple Pie Manufacturing

Imagine stepping into a mega factory dedicated to producing apple pies so meticulously crafted they evoke the fragrance of fresh apples itself. This behind-the-scenes look reveals that making industrial-scale apple pies closely mirrors homemade recipes, starting from selecting perfect apples. These apples are often grown in regions with crisp, cool climates—like Washington state in the U.S., which supplies around 60% of the country’s apples. Farmers approach harvest with a keen eye for quality, manually picking apples or using gentle mechanized shakers that mimic careful hand-harvesting, ensuring fruits avoid bruising.
