Hostess Snack Size Fruit Pies, Apple, 12 Count

fresh and tasty - good size for a small snack

Perfect

These are smaller than expected. However, they are a nice convenient snack. They taste sweet and fresh, which is a plus.

Great

I thought that this might be a better deal over the $1 4.5 oz pies, but not even close. For all 12 of these pies, I paid $3.77 sale price. For the same value, I could buy 3 of the 4.5 oz pies, which totals 13.5 oz. Normal price of this box is $4.32, and that means I could get 4 of the $1 pies, for a total weight of 18 oz. Almost half a pound more substance, for less! I just wish I had done the math ahead of time. Now, say you have small children. These are perfect size for a kid's lunch box. I don't think your kid would complain much, if at all. However, outside that niche circumstance, these are bland. The amount of apple chunks in them are laughable. I've managed to find only a couple chunks of apple in the 6 pies I've consumed since purchase. They're sweet, but hardly have any real apple flavor, or spice to them at all. They're not just small, but they're a step down from the $1 pies in general. The 100 calorie slogan is eye rolling. This is not worth your 100 calories. You can get cups of creamy, flavorful, yogurt with real fruit and more flavor in a single bite than these snack pies combined.
