If you love classic desserts, you'll know not all pies are created equal. While homemade pies have many potential pitfalls — such as a pumpkin pie being overbaked or soggy — the quality of store-bought pies can, to some degree, be judged by which ones win in the commercial division of the National Pie Championships each year. For 2026, Sam's Club was featured on that list of champions for its Honeycrisp Apple Lattice Pie, a massive staple in the store's bakery section.

Beyond being an award-winning dessert in both 2024 and 2026, the 12-inch Member's Mark pie is also noteworthy for its size, weighing a heaping 75 ounces (just over 4 ½ pounds total). While this massive size is impressive on its own, the pie is even more remarkable because of its low price of $10.98.

As for the makeup of the pie itself, it is full of baked apples mixed with sugar and cinnamon to create a classic filling for the buttery and flaky crust, which are all traits that make a great apple pie. Plus, because there's so much pie to work with, you can even transform it into an apple pie streusel.

While being an award-winning dessert is a significant accolade in its own right, the Member's Mark Honeycrisp Apple Lattice Pie from Sam's Club wouldn't have the reputation it does today if it weren't for how beloved it is by Sam's Club members. The dessert has a strong 4.6 average star rating on Sam's Club's website, with over 3,900 customers giving the pie a perfect score. "I know apple pie and this is a very good apple pie," wrote one reviewer. "The crust is flaky, the spicing well done and apples well cooked. It compares favorably to the best apple pie in the world, i.e. my wife's." Another shopper was similarly pleased, saying, "As soon as you open the lid and smell the aroma of the pie your mouth begins to water."

Beyond Sam's Club's website, dessert fans across the internet have praised the retailer's apple pie. "They are HUGE and DELICIOUS!" exclaimed one pie lover on Facebook, while a commenter on Reddit said, "Apple Lattice Pie is the way to go. Better than Grandma's. The crust is amazing!"

As is often the case with popular store-bought treats, you can improve upon the pie at home. By adding a scoop of ice cream, the rich dessert gets an undeniable boost in flavor. The store itself even added the Honeycrisp Apple Lattice Pie to its own ice cream to create the Member's Mark Americana Sundae at the Sam's Club food court, further proving that the combination truly is the best of the best.
