Katz GF apple pie
January 19, 2012
Yeah, my first GF product review…
Wheat and gluten-free replacement products are generally so expensive that I restrict myself from buying the fun stuff (i.e. junk food and sweets) unless they go on sale, well the local organic grocery store Sweet Clover seems to have overstocked on these prior to the holidays. Voila! Katz GF apple pie on sale for $4.99
They come in blueberry and apple. Not being a blueberry fan I got an apple one to try. Now my mom makes excellent homemade pie which this doesn’t stand a candle to, but seeing as she’s been trying and failing to get a GF crust to come out right for the past half-year. But this is a worthy alternative to wheat containing commercial pies.
I should warn you that its small. about 6″ diameter. And probably feeds 2-3 modest serving slices. It comes in the frozen section, but a minute in the microwave per slice warms it up nicely. Apples are firm and not soggy. Crust is flaky and chewy -hard to do GF, where everything tends to be gritty, sandy or crumbly.
Verdict: good replacement for commercial pie. Somewhat expensive for size.
