JJ's Bakery Apple Snack Pies, Individual Dessert, Fresh-Baked, Perfect for Snacks, Nut-Free, Kosher Parve, 4 Oz Each (Pack of 6)

These are delicious but they are a bit on a sweet side.

Short version: 3 stars for Blackberry +0.5 for good packaging, I'd eat another. 1.5 stars for Chocolate and that's entirely for the crust and packaging. Ordered chocolate pies & blackberry pies to pack for a family car trip. Rather expensive counting shipping (not Prime eligible). They were late, but not TOO late luckily; tracking data puts that on the postal service and the weather, not the seller. Stuff happens and the seller (B Direct) was prompt in replying and helpful. Taste tested both on arrival. Crusts were quite good in texture and taste, especially for something out of a box, no sogginess or staleness in the two I opened. No sell-by date stamp (there is a code that I assume will get me one if I contact the company, will see) but they seem fresh enough to me. Packing was a sturdy box padded with crumpled paper; each pie comes in an individual paper box, reducing "smushability" somewhat as well. These arrived intact. Blackberry pies' filling = a clear bluish gel with a few sparse seeds suspended in it (actual blackberries are in the ingredients, but some way down the list). Filling flavor and texture is definitely not on par with a proper berry pie, but I didn't expect it to be; it's all right, would eat another. The chocolate pies' filling, however, is a bust: Insufficiently chocolatey, so sweet that it made my eyes water. I didn't see milk listed in the ingredients, and while that was why I got these for the lactose intolerant on the trip (to save a few digestive caplets), I think it's part of the flavor problem, too. I took three bites from different parts of the chocolate pie in case I'd just hit a nugget of sugar, but the whole thing was intolerably sweet. Threw the rest of it out and donated the others. (Edited to be more precise.)

I hesitate to order these because of some negative reviews. However I was delighted today they are fresh, delicious and just what I wanted. Delicious.

First time I have tried these, but a little disappointed. The apple filling was thin, the crust a little think. But, when you heat it a little, the flavor comes out. A bit expensive I think. The size was great.

Pies didn't taste as good as i thought they vould. Not horrible, but not the best.

Good as Hostess used to be.

JJ pies are delicious so I ordered 6 pies for $15 thinking these will be well worth it. Unfortunately, the 6 boxes were wet n soggy even though they were wrapped in plastic and in another box in which the cardboard box was not wet in anyway. The corners were open slightly. Once u opened the box, they were either smashed or stuck to the box. There was no glaze (frosting) on the pie. The others u pick them up n they bent making them hard to hold. They didn’t smell right. Finally found the expiration date which it looks like they were trying to hide n it was 4-2024. Threw them away. Don’t waste your money or time buying these. If I could, I would give this review a zero.

These pies aren’t exactly filled much. They came in one box that held 6 pies in their own individual box. One of the pie boxes was open (probably happened in transit). I asked seller for my money back on the one pie and they quickly refunded me. Thank you! Next time I will buy pies with more filling, like Hostess or something similar.
