Trader Joe's Teeny Tiny Apple Pies, 220g

Seasonal! The appeal of a freshly baked apple pie is undeniable. The making of said pie, however, with its finicky crust composition and long bake time (not to mention its large-serving format), often creates a roadblock to its enjoyment. Thankfully, sidestepping the prep and skipping straight to the eating is not a pie-in-the-sky plan— it’s actually quite possible with a box of Teeny Tiny Apple Pies.

TJ’s Teeny Tiny Apple Pies are made using sweet-tart, exceptionally juicy Northern Spy apples. Nestled in a flaky, buttery crust, the cinnamon-spiced, diced apple filling is topped with a brown sugar crumble and baked to a golden brown. The finished Pies are packed four to a box, each measuring about 8 centimetres in diameter, so you can enjoy their sweet, tender, apple-y goodness whenever a craving for pie presents itself—no fork or pie server required. (Think “apple pie cookie” and you’re on the right track.) Alternatively, you could warm a Pie in the microwave or air fryer and serve it alongside a cup of Organic Fair Trade Breakfast Blend Coffee. Or for a presentation that’s sure to have you pie-eyed, go full à la mode and gild one with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a flourish of TJ's Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce.
