Maybe they're getting horribly ill? Incoming stomach bug is the only situation I can imagine that would make me turn down apple pie (and even that would not work on my husband, I don't think).
When I was growing up, we got dessert after every lunch and supper and never any other time, completely controlled by Mum. When I became a parent in a family who had started off with sensible attitudes around food, I would bake my mum's recipes of dessert-is-love and would be astonished (and hurt) to discover that when they were full, they knew they were full, and they wouldn't eat pie just because it was there and someone else might get theirs.
That's a roundabout way of saying that although it's astonishing (and probably frustrating for the baker), it means that your family's full of self-regulating eaters. Which is a good thing.
Meanwhile, can I trade you a piece of pie for a chunk of Cheddar?

Come on down! You might want to bring your own vanilla ice cream, though, because we're practically out.

(What story, you other folks may ask? "Three Little Kittens" I believe it's called.)
