Look, we know what you're thinking. Homemade apple pie is the best, bar none. But take it from Kevin Costner, who, clearly graduated from the school of Ina Garten : store-bought is fine when you're pressed for time but still want to quell a craving for a little sweet treat.
As for how he likes his apple pies, Costner says he likes to keeps it super simple. Apple pie à la mode , or apple pie topped with a scoop of ice cream , is not his speed. "I'd rather put ice cream in my coffee than on my apple pie," he says. A popular way apple pie is served in Southern cooking is with cheddar cheese melted on top. When Eating Well asked if he would ever consider this way to be the apple of his eye, Costner said, "I'd flick the cheese right off." Kevin Costner's favorite frozen store-bought apple pies ain't broke, so why fix them?
