OP you wanted a pie for a friend’s birthday. For me I would never buy store bought crust, or canned fruit. Pie crust takes minutes to make, and if you batch freezes well. I keep bags of frozen fruit, from in season crops.
You are looking for a bakery pie, for a special occasion Miz Kathi’s is a worth every penny, if you can’t make a scratch pie
