A relatively new frozen dessert from Marie Callender's, the two-serving Apple Pie is roughly the size of Marie's frozen pot pies but with a different crust and, more importantly, a different filling.
I picked a 10-ounce pie on sale for $1.99 (the regular price was $2.69).
Having tried Banquet's budget version of a small pie before, I really did not have high hopes for Marie's version (Both the Banquet and Marie Callender's frozen food brands are owned or licensed by ConAgra). I shouldn't have worried, this pie was good!
The crust here was not the standard apple pie crust; it was buttery, crumbly, and topped with cinnamon sugar. It reminded me a little of a sugar cookie really. Some of it stuck to the crisping material but was no worse for the wear beyond aesthetics. The top crust was a little thin though.
Like a lot of fillings you heat up in the microwave, the apples inside were molten. Please be sure to let the pie sit for a bit and/or vent the top crust or risk a nice, even tongue burn.
The apple filling carried a nice tart apple sweetness with a slight note of cinnamon. It paired well with the crust and had a good consistency; not too liquid or syrupy.
Let's face it, when you buy or make a baked pie, you're going to have enough for at least four people. For when you just want a serving or two of good apple pie and no leftovers to deal with, Marie Callender's Apple is the cure for what ails ya.

Thin-challenged folks tend to omit yummy stuff from their diets to escape being excessively lard-laden.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if a yummylicious concoction wea consumed vanilla or whatever preferred ice cream flavor was used would not be tossed atop the warm yummyness.
Nor whip cream.
Some weirdos put a slice of cheese on top but it is best to avoid those weirdos.
I just had one of these, and there was very little apple filling in it. You can't really taste anything but the crust.
ReplyDelete6 slices of apple in the whole pie. Great crust, but not enough apple to call this an apple pie.
