Taste – 7.5/10
All in all, this is a well made pie. The crust is soft and buttery without being heavy, while the filling isn’t syrupy or sticky like many other apple pies. The pie physically holds together well, and is certainly large enough to hold its own size-wise. It makes no claims to being gourmet, but it is certainly acceptable.
Cost/Value – 7/10
As this is more of an occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple (At least one would hope), price is less of an issue. This pie costs $6.99 which is about the same price range as similar items.
Nutrition – 9/10
The main selling point of this pie is that it’s incredibly light. The entire pie only contains 40g of fat, less than half the total fat of the other, “regular” Trader Joe’s apple pie. One could partake in the otherwise unconscionable luxury of eating an entire quarter of the pie at once, and only worry about 10g of fat, the equivalent of a few granola bars.
Total – 23.5/30
An extremely low fat apple pie that also does not disappoint in the taste department.
