Hostess Fruit Pie, Apple, 4.25 Ounce, 8 Count

Honestly I purchase these because I used to love these back in the day but unfortunately was not very pleased of the way they are made and I’ll do honesty they’re packaged great however these items have so much sugar it’s unbelievable so they are just not the same as they used to make them plus the ones that I received expired within a month and you’re unable to return them on Amazon for a refund or anything like that so basically My suggestion would be to purchase one at the store or your local grocery store try that out first before buying a whole case of them

These are even more delicious microwaving 10 to 15 seconds. Reminds me of those McDonald’s apple pies back in the 80s. Lots of yummy filling inside, and the outer crust very similar texture to those McDonald’s apple pie, so if you decide to microwave these, it is a very similar experience in your mouth. Your taste buds will explode with joy.

They're good. A little too sweet for me but good

If you remember the old Hostess fruit pies in the waxy paper wrappers, well then, even accounting for nostalgia goggles these apple pies, in all ways but brand name, aren't those. To me, these apple pies are a 2.5, which I rounded up only because I don't feel they're bad enough to be a 2. "Not actually bad, but also not good" is about as good a summary of my overall impression as any. If you're desperately looking for something which doesn't contain things these don't contain, for allergy reasons or etc., then they're an option, but maybe not a great one. Details: Least important thing first, these aren't tiny, but they're noticeably smaller than their precursors from years ago. The paper boxes and film-wrapped cardboard tray (of a pack of 8) kept the pies intact inside the shipping box. The crust is okay... forgettable tasting, which is at least better than memorable for bad reasons. Crust texture is... also okay. Not mushy, not stale, not baked too hard, and at least started out intact before the first bite. The trouble is, I only seem able to define the crust by what it isn't, aside from "prone to crumbling as it's eaten". I ended up using a fork. (I'm told by someone who tried this that they hold together better if you start eating at the wider edge and hold them horizontally, ridged side downward, than if you try to eat them lengthwise from one end. But then you end up finishing with the most crust+least filling part. Whether that's worth the dignity you salvage by not ending up shaking the last crumpled globs of pie out of the box, or off your hand, is up to you.) The apple filling is the gel goop stuff which inadequately passes as "fruity filling" far too often anymore, with what I guess are apple bits in it. It's a respectable enough AMOUNT of filling for the crust size, I'll give them that, but not being half hollow and/or dry and gluey isn't enough to make the pie actually good. The filling isn't anything I'd want to find upon opening a canned grocery store pie filling, especially after tasting it. I'd expect much more actual fruit and a flavor which suggests more than a passing acquaintance with good apples. But, these are cheap shelf stable pies, so judge them for what they are, I guess. The apple filling flavor has a vague chemicalish aspect, and at least wasn't excessively sweet, although the sweetness that there is has a quality I'm having trouble defining but can't say I like. As far as the sweetness level goes, it too is "okay". But then there's the actual filling taste. The thing that makes it an apple pie. Mostly the apple filling tastes of what seems like the strange, not-good taste of what happens when there's too much cinnamon added to no-sugar-added applesauce: Apple flavor is definitely present, but the taste of soggy cinnamon tries to drown out the apple, which results in its own weird and, I'd say, larger, contribution to the "chemical-ish" taste. This impression wasn't significantly different whether the pie was room temperature or warmed. Either way it's a "too much cinnamon, and apple is also there," taste, to me. It's not an inedibly bad flavor, but I don't like it, and I don't want any more.

I've always loved hostess fruit pies, but until recently I hadn't eaten one for a very long time. I read a lot of negative reviews on here, and based upon some of them being so negative, I was hesitant to order these pies. They also seemed to be a bit expensive. But I love apple pie. Some might not know this, but America's greatness is in part, due to apple pie. I won't say anything more about that though. You'll just have to look up this vital information yourself, buy a box, and make America great again. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, so anyway, some of the negative reviews in here cut me to the quick, but I went ahead and ordered. I got two boxes of 8 pies, with no damage to the packing at all. And actually, if you check around, the price really isn't that bad on Amazon. About three dollars a pie, but that's just what these heavenly things cost these days. To make a long, boring story short, these were JUST AS GOOD as I remember them. These are absolutely delicious. The crust is perfect and has a thin glazing of some kind of sugary sweetness, and the filling is maybe not as much as years ago, but there's quite enough of it for me. If you love apple pie, this is a no-brainer. Be a patriot and buy some. Amazon is selling similar Hostess fruit pies, but they are bite size, and I don't think they're worth the money. But these fullsize ones are. So when ordering, please make sure you're getting the big pies, not the little ones. I still can't believe the negative reviews here. To each his own, but I was most pleasantly surprised by how good these still are, and just ordered two more boxes of eight. I haven't tried the cherry ones, but will soon because I also remember them being great too back during my wasted youth. Don't let the bad reviews fool you. These are GREAT! 😋

Got covid a few years ago, and taste buds haven't been the same. That said the taste is lacking it's feels and taste like a chemical mess. It has a slight burn on side of tongue. Will be throwing out. If I had normal taste buds it still wouldn't be a 3 star or higher. Falls apart almost nothing good on nutrition considering it's apple pie. Pure junk no benefit at least ice cream tastes great even though it lacks vitamin and minerals.

Just plain good! Very good!

Had these pies sent to a good friend of mine across the country after he mentioned that he couldn’t find them in his area. He’s loved these pies since we were both kids, and it was great to have them delivered to his door!

Creo que es mejor leer bien comentarios y así le aviso que solo es una caja con 8 panesitos los cuales valen 1 dólar en oxxos y aquí los venden en 20 dólares cada pieza.
