How many calories are in a slice of apple pie?
One slice of apple pie — an eighth of a 9-inch pie, 125 g — carries 296 calories. Per 100 g the pie runs 237 calories, close to four times a raw apple. The fruit is not what makes it expensive. Fat and refined flour in the crust do most of the work.
You'd need to walk about 59 minutes to burn the 296 calories in one slice (1/8 of a 9-inch pie, 125 g).

Apple pie quick facts
The row used here is SR Legacy 175011, "Pie, apple, commercially prepared, enriched flour". That is the double-crust pie you buy whole from a supermarket bakery case, and its USDA serving — one piece, an eighth of a 9-inch pie — is the piece a person actually puts on a plate. It sits above the survey-average FNDDS entry in the data hierarchy, and it matches the pie most people are looking at when they search.

Two label rows are missing on purpose. USDA does not publish added sugars or trans fat for this record, so there is nothing honest to put in those cells — you can see the 19.6 g of total sugars in the slice, but not how much of it came out of a bag. Cholesterol is 0 mg, because a commercial pie crust is built on shortening rather than butter, and potassium is 81 mg a slice, about 2 % of the Daily Value.
US servings from one ounce to a whole 9-inch pie
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 67 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 237 kcal |
| One slice, 1/6 of an 8-inch pie | 117 g | 277 kcal |
| One slice, 1/8 of a 9-inch pie | 125 g | 296 kcal |
| One whole 9-inch pie, eight slices | 1000 g | 2370 kcal |
The two slice sizes are USDA household measures. The whole pie is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure — eight 125 g slices — not a USDA serving, so read 2,370 calories as an estimate for the pan rather than a published number.
Here is the trap worth knowing. Apple pie also shows up in the FNDDS survey data measured by the cup, and one cup of pie there weighs 250 g. At the survey row's 296 calories per 100 g, that cup is 740 calories — two and a half times a bakery slice. If a tracking app hands you "1 cup" as the default portion for pie, you have just logged most of a lunch. Pie is a food you measure by the slice.
An ounce is the other useful anchor: 67 calories. A thin sliver trimmed off the edge of the pan, the classic "I'll just have a little," is realistically 40 to 50 g, so 95 to 120 calories.
Every other apple pie USDA lists
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercially prepared, enriched flour | 237 kcal | one slice, 125 g | 296 kcal |
| Homemade, from recipe | 265 kcal | one slice, 125 g (our arithmetic) | 331 kcal |
| Dutch apple pie, crumb top | 290 kcal | one slice, 137 g | 397 kcal |
| Fast-food hand pie | 316 kcal | one individual pie, 125 g | 395 kcal |
| Survey average slice | 296 kcal | one regular slice, 150 g | 444 kcal |
| Commercially prepared, unenriched flour | 237 kcal | 1 oz, 28 g | 67 kcal |
| Canned apple pie filling | 100 kcal | one serving, 85 g | 85 kcal |
Homemade is not the light option. Pie made from a recipe is 265 calories per 100 g against 237 for the store-bought pie, so the same 125 g slice costs 331 calories instead of 296. Home bakers use butter and a heavier hand with sugar in the crust. What you gain at home is control, not a discount.
Dutch apple pie is the heaviest supermarket slice on the list. Swapping the top sheet of pastry for a streusel of flour, butter and sugar raises the pie to 290 calories per 100 g and pushes total sugars to 22.02 g per 100 g, against 15.65 g for the double-crust version. Dutch slices are also cut wider — the USDA piece is 137 g — and 397 calories is the result.
The fast-food hand pie is dense but small. A fried or baked pocket pie is 316 calories per 100 g, the highest density here, and 395 calories for a 125 g pie. It also carries 333 mg of sodium per 100 g, which is 416 mg in that pie, 18 % of the Daily Value. That is more salt than most people expect from something sold as dessert.
The enriched and unenriched flour records are the same pie nutritionally. Both are 237 calories per 100 g with identical fat and carbohydrate; only the sodium moves, from 201 mg to 266 mg per 100 g. Enrichment is about added B vitamins and iron, not calories, so do not go hunting for the "unenriched" label as a calorie play.
Filling alone is cheap. Canned apple pie filling is 100 calories per 100 g and 85 calories in an 85 g serving — less than half the pie by weight — because it has almost no fat, 0.1 g per 100 g against 11 g in the finished pie. Spoon the filling over yogurt and you have kept the apple-and-cinnamon part for a third of the price.
Supermarket brands sit inside this same band. Across the store-bought pies in USDA's Branded data, density runs from about 248 calories per 100 g at the lighter end to 336 at the heavier, and label servings run from a quarter of the pie down to a tenth — which is why two pies with similar labels can differ by 140 calories a slice.
Why the crust sets the numbers
A slice of apple pie is 13.8 g of fat, 4.8 g of it saturated. That saturated fat is 24 % of the Daily Value in one dessert, using the FDA's reference values for a 2,000-calorie diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest keeping saturated fat below 10 % of daily calories, which is about 22 g at 2,000 calories — so one slice is roughly a fifth of that day's room.
Protein is where the pie gives nothing back: 2.4 g a slice, 5 % of the Daily Value. Fiber is 2.0 g, or 7 %. If you are eating pie because there is fruit in it, the accounting does not really support you — MyPlate counts fruit toward your daily cups, and a slice of pie contributes a fraction of a cup of apple wrapped in pastry.
Then there is salt, the number almost nobody checks in a dessert. A slice is 251 mg of sodium, 11 % of the Daily Value, roughly a tenth of a teaspoon of table salt. Compare that with the filling on its own at 47 mg per 100 g. The salt is in the dough, not the apples, and the fast-food hand pie takes it further still at 416 mg a pie.
Read together, those rows say something simple: the apples supply the sugar and almost none of the calories, while the crust supplies the fat, the sodium and most of the energy. Any change you make to a pie that leaves the crust alone will barely move the total.
How does apple pie compare?
| Food | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple pie, commercially prepared | 237 kcal | one slice, 125 g | 296 kcal |
| Apple, raw | 61 kcal | 1 medium, 182 g (our arithmetic) | 111 kcal |
| Applesauce, regular | 75 kcal | 1 snack cup, 113 g (our arithmetic) | 85 kcal |
| Applesauce, unsweetened | 52 kcal | 1 snack cup, 113 g (our arithmetic) | 59 kcal |
The medium apple and both snack cups are standard US portions scaled from the USDA 100 g figures, not USDA serving rows.
Our take: a slice of apple pie beats two whole medium apples by 74 calories, and it does it with a quarter of your day's saturated fat attached. If you want the flavor for the smallest number, unsweetened applesauce at 59 calories a snack cup is the cheapest apple on this page, and canned filling at 85 calories a serving gets you the cinnamon-and-syrup character of pie without the pastry. If you want the pie, take the 125 g double-crust slice at 296 rather than the Dutch slice at 397 — same dessert, 101 calories apart, and the difference is entirely the topping.

Apple pie FAQs
How many calories are in a slice of apple pie?
A standard slice, one eighth of a 9-inch commercially prepared pie at 125 g, is 296 calories, from 237 calories per 100 g. That slice also brings 42.5 g of carbohydrate, 13.8 g of fat and 19.6 g of total sugars. Restaurant slices are usually cut larger and land higher.
How many calories in a whole 9-inch apple pie?
About 2,370 calories for a whole 9-inch pie, which is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure: eight 125 g slices at 296 calories each, roughly 1,000 g of pie. USDA publishes the slice, not the whole pan, so treat the total as an estimate.
Is homemade apple pie healthier than store-bought?
Not by calories. Pie made from a recipe runs 265 calories per 100 g against 237 for the commercially prepared one, so a 125 g homemade slice is 331 calories by our own scaling, 35 more than the store version. Home baking buys you control over the sugar, not a lighter dessert.
How much sugar is in a slice of apple pie?
19.6 g of total sugars in a 125 g slice, from 15.65 g per 100 g. Total sugars carry no Daily Value on the US label, and USDA does not publish added sugars for this record, so there is no way to split what came from the apples and what came from the sugar jar.
Does Dutch apple pie have more calories than regular apple pie?
Yes. Dutch apple pie is 290 calories per 100 g against 237 for the double-crust version, and its slices are cut bigger: 137 g works out to 397 calories. The crumb topping is flour, butter and sugar, which also pushes total sugars to 22.02 g per 100 g.
How many calories in a fast-food apple pie?
A fast-food style hand pie is 316 calories per 100 g, so a 125 g individual pie is 395 calories, about 100 more than a bakery slice of the same weight. It is also the saltiest apple pie on this page, at 333 mg of sodium per 100 g, or 416 mg per pie.
How many calories in apple pie filling?
Canned apple pie filling is 100 calories per 100 g, so a typical 85 g serving is 85 calories. That is less than half the pie by weight, because the filling carries almost no fat: 0.1 g per 100 g against 11 g for the finished pie. The crust is where the calories live.
How many carbs are in apple pie?
42.5 g of carbohydrate in a 125 g slice, 15 % of the Daily Value, from 34 g per 100 g. Fiber is only 2.0 g of that, so most of it is starch from the crust and sugars from the filling. A Dutch slice at 137 g goes up to 61.0 g of carbohydrate.
