Take a good, long look at the picture to the right. The small size of the photo is misleading because that is a giant apple pie.
Weighing in at 13-pounds, the Levee High Caramel Apple Pecan Pie is the signature dessert of The Blue Owl restaurant and bakery in St. Louis. The pie is made by packing a pastry crust with approximately 18 apples, which are then topped with a caramel, pecan sauce. Since you can't easily ship a freshly baked pie, these pies cab be ordered online and shipped, frozen, straight to your kitchen where you can bake them up yourself. Instructions are included, but from the look of the pie, the biggest challenge will be trying to find enough people to help you eat it.
The big pie sells for $34.95 plus shipping, but if you're looking for something smaller, The Blue Owl also makes a Mini Levee High Caramel Apple Pecan Pie that only weighs 4 pounds for $6.95.

I live within 10 miles of the Blue Owl. I have never tried this big apple pie but their other desserts are to die for. I might have to try the mini version.

Sorry, guys, but the Blue Owl is not in St. Louis. It's not even in St. Louis County, which surrounds the City of St. Louis. It's in Kimmswick, MO, a little town on the Mississippi River about, oh, 25 miles or so south, just off I-55. So don't go looking for it in St. Louis.
