You might be surprised to find out that on that fork is a bite of Banquet's Apple Pie. I know when I think of Banquet, I think of affordable "TV dinners" and pot pies. These new pies are just as affordable as Banquet's other entrees. I paid $.88 a piece for each pie that I bought at Walmart. I also saw them in my local grocery stores for about the same price. I bought all three flavors: apple, peach, and mixed berry. Actually, I bought two of each because I wanted to do a little experiment. On the box, it has both microwave and conventional oven directions, and I wanted to see if one way tasted better than the other. I can honestly tell you, they tasted pretty much the same. The one I cooked in the oven had a slightly crispier crust, but not enough so that I would prefer it over the microwaved one.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received free coupons to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

I think you did a very very good job at taking a picture of the pie! It looks so good I think I could smell it. I love apple pie. I would really like to win a coupon. Even if I don't at .88 I think I'll be buying some. YUMMY!
Tammy ~ you would think for $.88 you would get a "cheap" tasting pie, but that's not the case. At least not in my opinion :)
oo jenn, I'm suprised you microwaved em. you're a great cook so I know you compared em to your homebaked crust now didn't ya (wink*wink). and we know they didn't hold a candle to your pies girlfriend. I saw them even in the dollarstore cooler sundaynite. they look good on the package. but then again so does that japanese wax hamburger in a box. (smh)
Re-RecycledFrockery ~ Now, you know there is nothing like a home baked crust! lol! It's been a long time since I have baked a pie from scratch...I might have to do that soon. Maybe for Thanksgiving?
Okay, and I have to ask...what the heck is a Japanese Wax Hamburger?
I don't use my oven much in the summer. But, those do look really good. Ok, include me, please!
Dawn ~ I'm the same way. We grilled every night at my mom's house...we got out of the pool to cook and eat, then went right back to swimming. It was wonderful! Now I have to plan out my meals in the morning, and remember to take out meat or whatever...it's probably going to take me a while to get back into the swing of things.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the book...I have it here, in an envelope, but I keep forgetting to go to the post office. Maybe I'll just throw the coupon in with it...kill two birds with one stone :)
MMM. That looks good! I wish the sponsors I review would send me a gift card! Way to go!
Diana ~ it was good...you should check out mom central. They are awesome!
