I can't remember the last time I had apple pie, maybe the one from Aeon bakery some three or more years ago.
So I was at Yin's Sourdough Cafe & Bakery (this was back in August 2024) when I spotted their Apple Pie (and Black Forest Cake heh).
Why not? My health reset (stabilizing my weight and keeping my carb addiction in check) has gone well and I am now a bit more relaxed with what I eat.
Meat is my priority and I am still very much meat-based. But I allow myself treats like this every now and then.
Honest review. The Black Forest Cake was dry. It could have been more moist and the filling/frosting could have been more creamy.
Maybe it was left to sit out too long in the display counter. I have had better cake. So sad.
Then my big ass slice of Apple Pie was served. I had expectations. I have my standards for apple pie. After I took a bite, I never thought I would say it - this apple pie needs MORE sugar. There you go.
When I say something needs more sugar, it needs more sugar. I don't like things that are too sweet, just a little bit for other people, could be too sweet for me.
Sugar is bad for us but we have to draw a line somewhere when reducing sugar as an ingredient in a dessert. In the case of this apple pie, too much reduction in sugar resulted in a blah tasting apple pie. The apple filling was tart and bland.
So no, I did not enjoy this apple pie. The crust was not flaky, no butter fragrance (maybe it was not made with butter) and not enough cinnamon/spices in the apple filling.
The only thing I enjoyed was the coffee which was excellent. So no more apple pie for me.
Good morning! Even though I do not really fancy apple pie but I don't mind having as long as the apple filling is juicy and enough for me to detect it. I only had apple pie at Mac restaurants and none other. Maybe because I wasn't as adventurous as you and as observant enough as you when it comes to eating that I could spot other places selling apple pies. I just had 2 buttermilk rotiboys at JB Malaysia on Monday and the buttermilk just oozed out of the bun, I am sure my blood sugar must have spiked up after I ate these 2 rotiboys. Haiz.
