So you can imagine my excitement when I went to college and sampled my first apple dumpling.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> It was served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was the best dessert served on campus. My college days are long behind me, but thanks to Trader Joe\u2019s, I can grab a box of Apple Blossoms and experience the same joy.\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Trader Joe&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tip text-passage\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Trader Joe\u2019s Apple Blossoms<\/h3>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block text-passage\">\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> $2.49 for two single-serving blossoms<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I Love It:<\/strong> These apple blossoms taste like a delightful mash-up of apple pie and apple crisp. They reheat nicely in the oven or air fryer and can easily pass as a homemade dessert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-what-are-trader-joes-apple-blossoms\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> What Are Trader Joe\u2019s Apple Blossoms? <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Apple Blossoms are nestled among the many delicious items in the Trader Joe&#8217;s freezer aisle. They come in a two-pack box that, at less than $2.50, is an absolute steal. As an added bonus, each blossom comes individually wrapped, so if your \u201cdessert party\u201d is a table of one, you can save the other for another day.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Apple Blossoms are like \u201clittle apple pies, with the crust folded over to look like a blossom,\u201d according to Trader Joe\u2019s. \u201cThey\u2019re made with Northern Spy apples which have the firm texture of a Granny Smith, and the sweetness of a Macintosh.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> After unwrapping and baking (they can also be microwaved or air-fried) at 350\u00b0F for 15 minutes, you\u2019re treated to a dessert that\u2019s so good, it could be mistaken for something homemade. To me, the blossoms are a delightful mash-up of a double-crust apple pie and a crumble-topped apple crisp. In other words, it\u2019s all that\u2019s right about apple desserts.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-i-enjoy-trader-joes-apple-blossoms\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> How I Enjoy Trader Joe\u2019s Apple Blossoms <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The obvious and classic choice for enjoying these apple blossoms is with scoops of vanilla ice cream. A dollop of whipped cream is also lovely, especially when paired with a drizzle of caramel sauce. I\u2019ve also enjoyed the dessert served with just a splash of heavy cream. For an extra hit of flavor, I\u2019ll sometimes add a sprinkle of sea salt and a dash of freshly grated cinnamon.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you love apple desserts as much as I do and are craving something that tastes homemade, then Trader Joe\u2019s Apple Blossoms are worth a try. Skip the microwave when heating, and instead bake or air-fry for best results.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <sub><em>To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.<\/em><\/sub>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Trader #Joes #Dessert #Good #Tastes #Homemade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple desserts rank high on my list of favorites.
