Day 35 - Peach Raspberry Pie

We recently had an amaaazing store bought small pie from a grocery store in Florida named Publix.  We adored it.  And it is with that positive memory that we bought this Peach Raspberry pie tonight at Trader Joe’s.  It is a great size – 14 oz.  The flavor sounds like a delicious mix – the sweetness of peach entangled with the tanginess of raspberries.

Looks yummy!
And yet….

Oh you disappointing little pie, you.  Your crust is way too thick and floury.  Your fruit filling is bland and not at all zippy.  Your peach is peach COLOR but not peach TASTING.  And your RASPBERRIES??  Are you sure those are raspberries and not rhubarb?? Cuz they are dull, dull, dull…  And your topping – did someone just spill a box of granola on top of you??  You are nothing like a homemade pie and you make us wish for summer and fresh peaches to make our own dessert.

We won’t be buying you again.  In fact, we will be returning this one with 2 tiny slices cut out of it.  Thank goodness for Trader Joe’s awesome return policy!

Over priced and under flavored.... (and incorrect - package says 14 oz)
 Price – $4.99 (WAY TOO MUCH)
Rating – 1.5

  1. I purchased this Raspberry Peach pie tonight at TJ's and your review reflected my feelings exactly! In a blind taste test, I would have guessed this was some type of bland rhubarb pie. What a disappointment. But, truthfully, though I love TJ's I have never had much luck with the baked goods.
