Apple Caramel Pie--Really?
583964
I only drink flavored coffees.  I ordered this expecting a really interesting flavor--one that tasted like apple caramel pie.  I don't taste the apple or the caramel.  This is a light coffee, something I enjoy, but just not what I expected.

I'm not a big fan of raspberry (too many seeds).  Looking beyond my personal taste, it did have raspberry flavor, but was relatively bland.  Crumbles sweetend the "sauce" quite a bit and texture was roughly that of pie filling.  It came as part of the "best sellers" pack.

It doesn't save any time because there is no corer. I live in WASHINGTON state, the state famous for its apples! I had a ton of apples to process for apple pie filling I "put up"/"can" every year. I don't care how it looks. If you apple is not perfect, and round, and fresh, forget it. My apples are organic, right off the tree, and some are misshaped, but extremely tasty. it didn't work for me. Now, the corer is included, but this is AN EXTRA STEP. I wish I could send it back. I went back to my other one. For a few perfect apples, it's fine. Otherwise, stick with the other kind. Also, the blade is super, super sharp, watch out, or you'll slice a finger.

I tried one - very interesting effect! Vinegar is sweet. Dried kiwis and apples are very sweet. Coffee is sweet. Key lime pie is even sweeter than usual. Hot sauce (Franks) is sweet (I'll need to try ghost pepper sauce next time).

Wow, never heared of Caramel Apple cake mix and it was great! with Caramel fudge ice cream flavoring melted and drizzeled all over the cake. so rich and so wonderful.

Same product from my youth, but there appears to be worsening icing shortage.  Now un-iced margins are getting wider, and there are bare spots in the center of pastry.  Have noticed this trend for past three years or so.  Too bad as this used to be a guilty pleasure.  Better to go with apples.

My husband discovered this locally recently and we loved it, but we do have a couple of issues.

First, there's very little caramel flavor.  There seems to be small chips of caramel in them and their dispersion is really inconsistent.  The pieces are uneven, as you might assume because it's "brittle", and many of those pieces have little or no chips in them at all.

Then the salt is also inconsistently distributed.  It ends up often tasting different from bite to bite.

In this case, however, the base brownie flavor is really good, so I'm still going with 4 stars.

Apple Pie is one of my all time favorites.  Have been Gluten Free since October, 2012, and this pie tastes like homemade.  I recommend to everyone.

Crust:  Whether you like a butter, shortning, cream cheese or combination crust is undoubtedly a matter of personal taste.  (Except that the author clearly has it out for shortening crusts which I have always found to be delicious).  This book touts, and relies heavily on, a cream cheese crust.  Although it rolls out quite nicely, I don't really like the taste of it.  That may be because vinegar is one of the ingredients, and I always end up tasting a hint of it in the crust.  Maybe its just my tastebuds.  However, I would not buy this book for the crust recipes as many of them also contain vinegar and, again, I can always taste a hint of it.  I make plenty of pies, and there are crust recipes out there that don't require the amount of time and preparation these do with equal or better results in many cases.  But I am always willing to try a new one!  If you like a butter crust and don't mind an unusual method of preparation try searching "One Pie Crust to Rule Them All", which I recently found and tried with good results.

Pie Filings:  The actual fillings have been delicious!  There are some real keepers in the bunch, and many more I have yet to try.  The Lemon tart with blueberry topping is outstanding and my hands down favorite!  The apple "rose" tart is beautiful and really not very hard to do - but oh, so impressive to present!

I like this book for the actual pie filling recipes, but I have turned to other recipes for my crust.  I gave it 3 stars because the crust is, in my opinion, the heart of the pie - and to be a great pie book, the crust recipes should be fabulous too.

Meeh. I was expecting a lot from this book because of David Lebovitz. However, I'm not very happy with it. I'm not a professional baker, I'm a home baker. I just enjoy baking, so I have a lot of cookbooks that I try new recipes every day. I tried 2 recipes from this book, one of them was pavlova and the other one was creme caramel. both of them didn't worked out. they were both delicious but their texture was not right. even though they tasted really good, my pavlova was so flat and my creme caramel was so liquid. After these tries, I stopped bothering with this book. Maybe it's something I did, I don't know but I never had this kind of situation before with my other cookbooks. And another thing about this book that didn't fit me was that there are really few photos. Since I'm not a pro, I'd like to see what the product should look like in the end. Some recipes have photos, some don't so it wasn't for me.

Sort of a hard cookie, not really a pie like I thought.

I consider myself a very good baker, but my pies always lacked the silky texture I consider aesthetically beautiful.  I think food should look appetizing as well as taste great.  Other thickening agents made the pies gummy or would solidify.  My custard pies are silky and my fruit pies have never been better!  Tasty and beautiful to the last bite!  Thank you = )

"Almond" clusters?!?!? Shameless false advertising!  These are caramel patties covered in chocolate that MAY contain some nut grit. There is so little of this grit that you can only take their word that it is of almonds. There was not enough of this grit to make up the volume of a baby aspirin! Furthermore, this product contains partially hydrogenated oils, which are health hazards (research on the internet), according to Dr. Andrew Weil. I have never had a Hershey's product that contained these oils, so it did not even occur to me to read the list of ingredients beforehand. I will never make that mistake again.

I remembered this from when I was a kid and bought it because of that.  It's delicious, but it's really, really sweet!  So if that's something you might not like, be aware of that.  Rather than a straight pudding, I think it might be nice as a filling layer in a cake, etc.  I'm trying it that way the next time.

I was expecting a green apple color.  When it came out dark brown, I almost threw it out thinking it had gone bad.  After reading the other reviews here, apparently, it is supposed to be that color.  Very strong caramel taste, and not the crisp apple taste I had expected.  Yes, the brown coloring looks more like real apple juice, but I was still very disappointed.  Love the pineapple coconut and blueberry acai flavors.  This was a definite miss.

To call this a dessert spread is an embarrassment to dessert!

This is purely a nut butter made from pecans and almonds.  It has a very grainy texture, one I would expect for a typical nut butter.  It does separate in the jar, as most bought nut butters will (when I make almond butter myself, I do not see separation).

They didn't use roasted nuts to make this - that would have really improved the taste.  I think it's because they didn't use roasted nuts that the spread has a bit of a bitter after taste.

I can totally eat this on fruit or crackers or toast, but I feel misled because it's not sweet AT ALL!
