Key Takeaway
CU said it is launching a corn pie and an apple pie cooked to order in the in-store fryer on October 5.
The corn pie reportedly has a corn cream and kernel filling, and the apple pie has apple pieces and a cinnamon scent. Size, ingredients, and allergen labeling are not in the reports.
What goes into the corn pie and the apple pie?
According to Metro Seoul, CU is releasing two made-to-order pies as the weather turns cool, strengthening its winter lineup. The corn pie is filled with corn cream and kernels, and the apple pie has apple pieces with a cinnamon scent.
The corn pie became known in Korea as a food from overseas travel destinations such as Thailand. In Korea it has mostly been sold as a limited-time item, but CU says it is introducing it as a permanent item. The reports I checked do not say whether the apple pie is sold year-round.
How are they cooked and sold?
Both products are cooked to order in the fryer inside CU stores. CU also reportedly offers dedicated packaging so you can eat them without getting your hands messy. They are made-to-order items, so whether a store carries them and how long they take to cook can vary. Check before you go.

Why is CU expanding made-to-order food now?
A BGF Retail HMR (home meal replacement) team official explained that the company is widening its made-to-order range after introducing hot bread in early September. The official said it plans to extend the lineup with existing made-to-order items such as fried chicken, hot bars, and roasted sweet potatoes, plus a variety of ready-to-cook foods from overseas.
Where can you check size and allergen labeling?
Neither report gave size, ingredients, allergens, or calories. Made-to-order items can be labeled differently from packaged products, so go by the notice posted in the store.
- Ask a store employee whether there is a notice listing ingredients and allergens.
- Because these are fried, also check whether the same fryer is shared with other products.
- If the retailer's app lists product information, compare it too.
If you have an allergy, check the information before you buy.
