"Unlike an American apple pie, a Dutch apple pie swaps the lattice top for crumbly, buttery streusel. And the streusel alone was enough to land this pie in first place. Not only do you get a melt-in-your-mouth, crumbly, buttery topping, but you also get the traditional flakiness of the bottom crust. The filling was just as decadent and luxurious. Sara Lee didn't skimp on the apples, either."
"The integrity of each slice held up well, making for a tantalizing presentation we feasted our eyes on before the first bite. They were caramelized and perfectly tender with subtle hints of cinnamon to balance the sweetness of the apple with spice. Even the gelatinous filling that surrounded the cooked apples was full of fall flavor and presented a soft yet cohesive texture to contrast the crumbles and crust."
Ten Sara Lee frozen desserts were evaluated using freshness and tenderness of fillings, crust texture, and balance of sweetness. The Dutch Apple Pie ranked highest for its buttery, crumbly streusel topping paired with a traditional flaky bottom crust. The apples were caramelized and tender with subtle cinnamon notes that balanced sweetness, and the gelatinous filling provided cohesive, fall-flavored softness to contrast the crumbles and crust. Each slice maintained structural integrity for an appealing presentation. Numerous five-star customer reviews praised the filling-to-crumble ratio, seasoning, and balanced sauce, reinforcing the pie's standout status among Sara Lee's frozen offerings.
