Day 68 - Toaster Strudel Apple


Have I wandered into a fancy French bakery?  Not quite but sometimes you just need a little pastry in your life.  Bonjour Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Apple!

Toaster Strudels were introduced by Pillsbury in 1985 as an alternative to the Kellogg's Pop-Tart.  They are found in the freezer section and are sold in 6, 12 or 24 count boxes.  They have a flaky crust, some kind of sweet filling and come with a frosting packet to top each pastry.

There was a golden period of time when boxes included frosting packets 30% larger, also known as Megapackets!  These were glorious, gluttonous days indeed when like the ancient Romans, we could bath in frosting!  One of my biggest complaints normally is an underwhelming amount of frosting.  Pillsbury, I implore you, BRING BACK THE MEGA FROSTING PACKETS!

Here is a list of the Toaster Strudel flavors available.  Some are seasonal or may have been discontinued.

  • Apple
  • Apple Cream Danish
  • Apple Cinnamon
  • Blueberry
  • Boston Cream Pie
  • Chocolate 
  • Cinnamon Roll made with Cinnabon™ Flavor
  • Cherry
  • Cream Cheese & Strawberry
  • Danish Style Cream Cheese
  • French Toast 
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Raspberry
  • S'mores
  • Snickerdoodle
  • Strawberry (the first flavor)
  • Strawberry Apple
  • Watermelon
  • Wildberry


Now specifically, Toaster Strudel Apple.  'Tis good.  The crust is crisp with layers and they brown up nicely in the toaster.  The apple filling is decent, a good mix of sweet and tart with a touch of cinnamon.  There is never as much filling as the picture on the box, a little more would be good.  I in fact, had to pull a little of the filling towards the cut for the pic above so you'd see it but whatever.

I was supposed to have done it already but it got pushed back, next time the Seneca Apple Chips review.  Crunch on and get your breakfast on!
