Katz Gluten Free Snacks Mini Pies Variety Pack | Apple, Blueberry, Cherry | Dairy Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, Gluten Free | Kosher (1 Pack of each)

These lil fruits pies are soooo very tasty and super easy to warm up... Flat out yummy. 😀 I gonna get more as my grandson are going to munch out on them too.

I tried the cherry pie, it was good!

After ordering and tasting these pies I am having a hard time understanding why so many people find them delicious and good quality. I wonder if I got a different batch because mine were neither delicious nor good quality. I have never ordered something like this so I had no idea what to expect. Every time I have ordered a frozen product to be shipped it was enclosed in either ice packs or dry ice. These pies were enclosed in cardboard and no ice packs so I was not surprised that they were thawed when I got them. I ordered these gluten free pies for my daughter who has a gluten allergy. The reviews were mostly good so I trusted the company to deliver the product that was promised in a condition safe to eat. I was at the door when the pies were delivered. They did not sit outside at all. The outside of the box said freeze immediately, so that is what I did. The pies inside were NOT packed with ice packs or dry ice to keep them frozen in transit. All of them were totally thawed when I put them in the freezer. I decided to try the pies before I gave them to my daughter. I opened the box of apple pies. They were white, small and looked raw...not anything like the picture on the box. I followed the instructions exactly and put them in the microwave for the time required, 15 seconds. They still looked raw so I put them in again. I did that three times. The pies still looked like they had not been cooked. There was a thick layer of sugar on each of them. I ate one of the apple pies. It tasted like dough with an overload of sugar. There was little if any apple taste. That night and the next day I was sick. I felt like I had food poisoning. I have had food poisoning before and the symptoms were the same. I had not eaten anything else so I thought it must be the pie I had eaten. I decided to contact the company....not to get my money back or return the remaining pies....but to alert them that there might be a problem with the pies they were shipping without refrigeration. I was afraid that someone like my daughter, who has a serious problem with gluten, would become more ill than I had. The company responded. To their credit they responded politely every time I contacted them. They asked for information as to when I received the item, how it was stored, best by date, if the box was damaged, when I consumed them, when I became ill. I answered every question. It was important to me that no one else get sick so I was willing to help in any way I could. Their response was to ask me if I had allergies......nothing about the possibility that the product had become contaminated during shipping. I have no allergies....I told them so. I was a little angry that the only thing they came up with was that it might be my allergies....not their product. I also told them I didn't want a refund or to return the product. I only wanted them to be sure they were selling and shipping safe products to people like my daughter. I copied and pasted several Amazon reviews into the return letter that stated the same problem I had with the pies. The company response was that the majority of the reviews were because of improper storage or delay in delivery. The negative reviews did not change their mind about investigating the quality of the pies they were shipping. In that letter they also said that my pies were delivered within the 48 hour window that does not affect product quality....even if it does arrive thawed and looking raw. Therefore, the thawed pies were most likely not responsible for my illness. Though this is a company that makes gluten free products and I am always looking for good gluten free products for my daughter, I will not order from them again. I think companies, especially those who sell food products, should pay attention to the negative reviews as well as the positive. They DID respond to my email. Some companies do not. That is worth one star. I did not ask for nor receive a refund or a replacement product. I accomplished nothing with my correspondence with the company. My goal was to enlighten the company about the possibility that their product or the way they shipped the product could possibly cause illness for the consumers. Food poisoning is pretty miserable. Sometimes even in the best of companies a bad product slips through. Even knowing that my letter encouraged them to step up quality control would have made my effort worthwhile. All I know is that I ate the Katz gluten free apple pie and within a short time was sick for two days.

Not enough for the price taste good but too expensive

The pies themselves could use more filling but they are actually really good. They are like the little Debbies fruit pies but about half the size. Overall I really enjoyed them!

Details, gluten-free fruit mini hand pie: it’s about the length and width of my pinky. Perfect for snacking and on the go. The filling in these little guys are very good not too tart and not cloyingly sweet. The crust is delicate, flakey and off the hook delicious. Not gritty at all in texture as other brands Gluten-free crusts I’ve had. I’ve been Celiac since 1998 and believe me these are an amazing treat for a picky Celiac. I can make and bake a lot of the gluten-free items I want myself... Sometimes you want to just grab a snack that you don’t have to put effort into, these in my mind, are a great pre-made prepackaged sweet treat. This brand has really shown me they have made good stuff even better over the years. I recommend these if you want a hand held sweet small snack you don’t have to prep and bake yourself. I will buy again, delighted with these. Picture shown of cherry flavor with a bite out of it.

I wish I could give a better report but sadly, these pies are pretty lacking. For starters they are super small I was expecting Hostess pie sized (especially given the price) but they’re maybe 1/3 that size. Additionally when you bite into them...there is literally nothing there. I cracked open a cherry pie to show you how much of the pie is just...empty. There’s no juice and very little that’s discernible as actual fruit. They all seem to include a mushy fruit flavored jam instead. The flavor on the apple pie is best, but the cherry was totally indistinguishable from the blueberry. Coming in at about $2 a pie, this felt like a total rip off to me. Shan’t be repeating the experience.

Loving these small fruit pies (approx 2x3”) - delicious and just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. The ‘crust’ is soft and a bit crumbly. The glaze/frosting sweetens without overdoing it. The fruit fillings have small fruit pieces in them. Hard to decide between the three flavors - all were tasty. They are nothing like a Hostess pie - actually taste more like real pies and ‘crust’ is not as firm or dry. They are pricey, but gf items usually are. I do wish the shipping cost wasn't so ridiculous on Katz items. They arrive thawed and are meant to be frozen upon arrival and reheated from frozen in 15 seconds in microwave - I appreciate this because they will keep well frozen. Overall I am pleased with them and will reorder regularly - would ‘subscribe’ if that was offered.
