A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there’s lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

Made with wrong kind of apples and kind of not enough thought into it is what i would say. But also i think you went in expecting american pie (xd) American Apple Pie, that is, which i guess holds togehter better than british apple pies.
BUT since it’s a restaurant they maybe should have made it a bit better - i’m sure british patrons would also scoff at that because they could just buy one from a supermarket that is functionally the same.
Your analysis is totally correct, they could have used cinnammon for instance to make it nicer, and i’ll repeat that they either used the wrong type of apples or cooked them wrong entirely.
More specifically, I went in hoping for the kind of pie I saw in Great British Bakeoff. Or, at least, a pastry of some sort. I think what I saw was less of an example of British cooking, and more of a chef who actively disdained humanity as a whole.
