headed back into popeye's to take a look at a sweet treat they've got going just
in time for the holidays and honestly a little caramel apple pie action sounds
pretty good right now so let's hit that drive-through and set ourselves up
sure no problem
no problem you know peep this out lemme go for one of those caramel apple pies
and that'll be all you got it great thanks a lot well that was a crazy long wait I hope this
is worth it hello alright thanks thank you so much I
appreciate it we'll see ya' alright is this one gonna deliver
let's peep this out
well this container is pretty hot guys feast your eyes on the caramel apple pie
here at Popeyes and if the aroma in my car is any indication we have got some
really tasty caramel apple goodness we're about to get into right now lemme
crack this in the middle for you it is really full really really nice I'm
diggin that already you guys get the first look on the inside how does that
filling look to you right now because I got to tell you it feels very very thick
nice and crispy nice and golden on the crust on the outside
hopefully we're seeing some chunks of apple it looks like we've got some stuff
falling out there this is supposedly got some caramel puree type of stuff mixed
in with it to really give you that nice caramel flavor and I got to say the
smell right now because I just cracked this open is starting to waft up with a
little bit of caramel and some apple goodness let's get into this right now
this is the caramel apple pie here at Popeyes let's peep out this flavor
very strong apple with hints of caramel let's give it a go mmm nice well it looks like
I took out the only two apples that were in this half of the pie but I can tell
you the flavor is very reminiscent of McDonald's apple pie except this is
actually way more fried whereas the new baked pies they have in McDonald's have
a little bit more of a different flavor this is more like the original
McDonald's apple pie with a little bit of caramel and I'm
getting up on the back end but it's more of the whip puree type of filling that
I'm looking at here right now that is really kind of hanging with me just a
little bit it's not overly sweet but I got to tell you guys the fried coating
is ridiculously good as it should be because it's fried mmm looks like it's
not a crazy amount of filling on the inside of this but what is there is very
subtle in the caramel department it's a lot stronger in the Apple as it should
be the caramel is more of the backup but it's the fried coating that is really
the star of the show here on top of everything it is really really tasty if
you like fried pastries you're gonna like this a lot you know I gotta say
it's been a while since I've had a fried pie like this because I'm so used to the
McDonald's baked version of their apple pie now that when you've had something
like this after not having it for so long it really stands out so that's
giving me an extra layer of flavor with this one because of that pastry coating
on the outside like the filling it's not nearly as much as I thought it was gonna
be but the caramel on the backend is a nice little touch and it is pretty nice
for the holiday season given the time of the year that it is
one more shot on the inside and as you can see it's a little hollowed out so
compared to what I thought it was gonna be like when I was splitting it during
the initial close-up I thought it was gonna have a lot more filling than this
what you do get is flavorful it's just not nearly as packed as I thought but
again for $1.29 I'm not complaining the flavors pretty nice but
of course this is just all my opinion after all what do you guys think do you
think this caramel apple pie can hold a candle to the McDonald's apple pie and
what are your thoughts on baked vs. fried I'm very curious to see which ones
you guys prefer drop those comments down below and definitely let me know and
that's for the overall rating based upon what I experienced today I'm gonna have
to give the caramel apple pie here at Popeyes a decent
7 out of 10 it's a
pretty tasty sweet snack for just over a buck and if you like fried pies I think
you'll like this one a lot the only downside though is that the filling just
needs to be beefed up just a little bit because what's in there is OK it just
needs to be a little bit more full a little bit less crust and a little bit
more filling or just a little bit more of an even balance that's pretty much it
and those are my thoughts on this one here at Popeyes today as we close out
another episode of peep this out guys and like I always say I've got brand new
content every single week here in my channel so why you stay tuned for the
next review coming real soon in the meantime stay frosty
well looks like Popeyes took the month off by not really introducing anything
brand new to finish out the year I mean I know they have the $5 holiday feast
going on but guys let's be honest 2 pieces of chicken aside in the biscuit
for $5.00 is a decent value but that's anything but a holiday feast as
far as I'm concerned so I decided to pass and checking that out because it
just seems so plain if you really want to know what I think they should have
done they should have just brought out the bonafide big box meal again and
added the extra side and maybe thrown in this pretty tasty caramel apple pie but
again that's just my opinion that would have been a really truly awesome feast
maybe charge a dollar more for it I think it would have gone a long way but
hey what are you gonna do alright guys until next time I'll talk to you soon
