Crafted with care and culinary expertise, SEG’s caramel apple pie has become a favorite among customers and APC judges alike. Its exceptional quality and irresistible flavor led to victories in four of the annual competitions since 2017, cementing its status as a top contender in the realm of pie excellence. The award-winning pie embodies the nature of the season with its blend of crisp apples and decadent caramel, all nestled within a flaky, golden crust. SEG’s caramel apple pie promises to be the highlight of any summer occasion, offering pure indulgence in every bite.

Dewayne Rabon, Chief Merchandising Officer for Southeastern Grocers, said, “We are passionate about providing our customers with exceptional culinary experiences that celebrate the essence of each season. Receiving a blue ribbon from the American Pie Council for our Own Brand caramel apple pie is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of our team at Southeastern Grocers. This accolade reaffirms our relentless pursuit of excellence. More importantly, it underscores our steadfast commitment to our customers – a promise to consistently deliver fresh, high-quality products at prices that remain accessible to all.”

Complementing the first-place caramel apple pie are SEG’s new frozen desserts from Own Brand lines Know & Love, Prestige and SE Grocers. Among these delights, Know & Love presents dairy-free gelato in four delicious flavors to help beat the heat this summer: rich dark chocolate gelato and mint chocolate chip gelato both crafted with coconut milk; caramel sea salt gelato made with creamy cashew milk; and butter pecan gelato prepared with pecan milk. Alternatively, Prestige unveils its limited-edition ice cream flavors only available through the summer. Prestige S’mores ice cream features a creamy marshmallow-flavored ice cream base, swirled with ribbons of graham cracker and dotted with bites of chocolate; Prestige Blueberry Crisp ice cream is the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch with creamy vanilla ice cream mixed with delicious blueberry and oatmeal bites. For a frozen twist on a brunch classic, SE Grocers Peach Bellini sherbet combines peach-flavored sherbet and swirls of champagne-flavored sherbet, capturing the essence of a peach bellini cocktail in every spoonful. With these new frozen treats, everyone can enjoy the flavors of summer without compromise.
