He (Mark) says: If someone told me this was an award-winning entry from a dessert contest, I would believe it. A superb balance of crust and contents. The apple and hint of cinnamon combined with the crust's texture make this a winner. Even re-heated in the microwave (one slice for 30 seconds at 60% power) on day two, this treat shines. I would buy this again, and again and…well, you get the picture. 

Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars


She (Bridget) says: As is typical of my Trader Joe's freezer-to-oven items, this one took much longer to bake. As in, 10 minutes longer. While the crust might not pass a Paul Hollywood inspection for a crisp bottom, the crust does hold up despite being on the soft side. The filling is surprisingly creamy (thank you, cream cheese!) and slightly gooey in a good way! The crunchy sliced almonds and coarse sugar on top are a delightful contrast in textures. So, SO good! 

Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars


Will I buy it again? Big YES.
