Kit Kat Apple Pie – Nails the Apple Pie Flavour

Kit Kat Apple Pie

I’ll admit that I was actually pretty excited to try this one.  I mean, it’s Apple Pie Kit Kat; if you don’t think that’s irresistible then you and me are very different people.

I got a bit less excited when I looked at the ingredients list and noticed that there isn’t anything even remotely resembling an apple in what is ostensibly a candy bar all about apples.

But then I took a bite and got excited again because holy cow this thing tastes a surprising amount like a slice of apple pie.  Like, it’s weird how much it tastes like apple pie.  It nailed that flavour way more than I thought it would, particularly after perusing the ingredients.

Specifically, it tastes like apple pie a la mode, with a hint of tartness from whatever scientific magic they used to replicate the apple flavour, a subtle hint of cinnamon and other spices, a decent amount of pie crust flavour from the wafers, and a milky creaminess that made me think of pie a la mode.  I’m shocked that this is as good as it is; I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Between this and the birthday cake variety, Kit Kat is absolutely knocking it out of the park with these novelty flavours that have the potential to be horrible but are actually amazing.
