Caramelized Apple Tart with Apple Sauce filling and Apple Strudel:

Invalid Link Removed
Invalid Link Removed

I'm putting both of these together because they suffered from a common weakness: boring apples...as in apples that have not been sweetened enough. This means that you get "too natural" of a taste for our american palates. We're used to apple pie with plenty of sugar/caramel, caramel apples, etc.

At least the Strudel had cinnamon added to it, but the dough was not flaky as I prefer. While the tart's dough suffered from being hard like a cracker: wrong decision chef, should have gone with shortbread type crust.

This is a warning for you people eating desserts in Europe: these people use less sugar and it often becomes particularly evident in fruit based items.

Typical swiss cookie: shortbread layer on bottom, thick jelly in middle, surrounded by a hazelnut meringue crown. Meh/10.

I like my meringues chewy and my fruit preserves in the form jam not jelly. At least it was the size of a large burger patty.

Littlemans salted oreo is always available and is great...I remember their chocolate cupcake flavor being incdpredible as well
 
These didn't get a spectacular review, but they look interesting. One could easily add them to oatmeal, proats, Greek yogurt, sludge, etc.

Picked up the Chips Ahoy Cinnamon Donut cookies last night. Junk Banter was spot on - tastes EXACTLY like a powdered cinnamon donut! Texture is nice and soft but chips don't add any appreciable flavor.

Giant Eagle. My wife and I recently moved and we now have access to a Walmart Supercenter. I was so pumped because they usually carry most of the LE products, but I didn't see them there this past weekend. Yesterday I was at Giant Eagle and BAM! I was very pleasantly surprised.
 
Stopped at Denver's #1 Donut Shop after getting off my flight. Its a 2 mile walk from my brothers house..
Tomorrow they are also going to have a peaches and cream (made with fresh peaches) and Raspberry filled Cream Cheese Frosted Donut on special.
These things are no joke 3/4th of a pound. Absolutely massive.

Wtf 12 grams of sugar for 2 little cookies. They better taste decent! Here is the review from TIB

Purchased Price: $2.49
Size: 9.5 oz package
Purchased at: Meijer
Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Authentic cinnamon donut pantomime. An edible trip to the cider mill in late summer. The first ever complimentary use of the word “coagulated.” Coming soon from The Impulsive Buy: 12 Angry Kool-Aid Men!
Cons: Not maple-flavored. Playing for second place against real donuts.. Unexpected Yankee Candle flavor outbursts. Sobbing and bobbing for more apple flavor. A criminal lack of corrugated, scrunched-up donut holes.

All of them. This thread is about allowing others to pull up a chair and eat next to you via proper documentation.

Excellent as well and more refreshing than the original, but I'm sticking with the OG because I prefer to more pure cream/caramel/dough combo.
 
Nice!

Pumpkin Spice Life was reviewed. I'll skip these. The entire review essentially states the fall like flavors are muted.

Purchased Price: $2.99
Size: 13 oz box
Purchased at: Star Market
Rating: 3 out of 10
Pros: Witty board game references. Good for fans of regular Life. Flannel shirts worn unironically.
Cons: Hey Mikey, he hates it! Barely discernible pumpkin spice flavor. Mushy in milk.

fuaaa...best baked good I've had here thus far. Great layers of texture and flavor.

Thick tart type pie layer that does not get soggy which is then topped with pastry cream, raspberries, and a sweet crunchy yet cakey crumb topping. Every element was done at a high level and complemented each other. Soft vs hard, sweet vs tart. hnnnggg/10
