Last week, among the free refreshments offered at an AA meeting that I regularly attend were Entenmann’s Apple Puffs. As soon as I saw the apple treats in the Entenmann’s box, I grabbed a napkin and helped myself to one of the puffs. After eating one of these tasty items along with a hot cup of coffee, I think it would be a good product to review.
Presented here, as a service to the consumer at large, is an article which reviews and examines Entenmann’s Apple Puffs.
Appearance
Entenmann’s Apple Puffs are aesthetically pleasing pastries that look like something you would find in a high end French bakery. Although they are filled with a sweet apple filling and are topped with a tantalizing white icing, these puffs still maintain a fairly light and airy looking appearance.
Size
The net weight of the standard – sized package of Entenmann’s Apple Puffs is 18 ounces (1 lb 2 ounces). The container holds six pastries and one pastry counts as one serving. Each of the pastries is fairly large and one of them is definitely enough to satisfy the average person’s appetite and sweet cravings.
Price
The regular retail price charged for one 18 ounce package of Entenmann’s Apple Puffs at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $2.99. That works out to roughly $0.50c per serving, which seems very reasonable to me. When the great flavor and high quality of these puffs are factored in, the price seems even more reasonable.
Nutritional Facts
Entenmann’s Apple Puffs contain 290 calories, with 130 calories from fat, per one puff (85 grams) serving. These delightful pastries also contain 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 14 grams total fat, 0 mg of cholesterol, 260 mg of sodium, 39 grams total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 20 grams of sugars and 3 grams of protein, per one puff serving.
Taste / Flavor
For many years, I have been a fan of Entenmann’s products and have enjoyed every one of their tasty items I have eaten. After trying the Entenmann’s Apple Puff, I now think it is one of the tastiest Entenmann’s products I have tried.
The pastry part of these puffs features a rich, yet light flavor that speaks of high quality ingredients and expert baking methods. The apple filling in these puffs features pieces of real apples and is pretty sweet, with a subtle cinnamon flavor present. The creamy white icing that accentuates the tops of these puffs adds a nice additional touch of flavor that works well with the other ingredients.
To me, this apple puff tastes similar to a really good apple Danish pastry, only lighter. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.50.
Packaging
Entenmann’s Apple Puffs are packaged in a cardboard box that bears the distinctive blue and white Entenmann’s packaging design. The box lifts open easily and it also re-closes effectively.
A full listing of all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information is included and a clear plastic see – through window is cut into the top of the box.
Overall Rating
What a delicious product the Entenmann’s Apple Puff is. A wonderful item to eat at breakfast time, as a midday snack, or as a late night dessert, this apple filled pastry treat offers a satisfying flavor and can be eaten anywhere, at any time. Available at food retailers across America, this product is highly recommended by this food writer.
