Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie Review

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to bake. That's when I turn to store-bought desserts, such as those made by Mrs. Smith's. Mrs. Smith's has always been one of my favorite brands, yet I've always felt a little uneasy about purchasing their more expensive desserts. Recently, though, I had a coupon for a free Mrs. Smith's Whole Pie. I decided to use the coupon to try Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie. This is one of the more expensive choices that the brand offers. Would the Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie be what I expected? Or would I be pleasantly surprised?

Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie is very easy to prepare. Just remove the dessert from the packaging and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. Then allow the dessert to cool for 10 to 20 minutes before applying the frosting. Please note that you should only apply frosting to the portion you are going to eat right then. You can refrigerate the leftover frosting for up to 5 days.

Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie Review: Taste

I was quite surprised when I cut into the Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie. The sauce around the fruit was almost red. Let me say that I love the crust on this dessert as well as the crumb topping and the consistency of the fruit. But, the sauce had so much cinnamon that it made the sauce taste bitter. By far, my favorite part of the Mrs. Smith's Cinnabon Apple Crumb Pie was the cream cheese frosting.
