I’ve mentioned before I am not a baker. Morgan is the baker of the family. She makes beautiful breads, cakes and pies. I ruin those things. I forget about them and over cook them. Baking is not my thing.
I sure do love a tasty pie though.
I just realized that Banquet made fruit pies. I had no idea!
When I think of Banquet I think of hanging out at my grandmas eating a Turkey or Salisbury Steak T.V. Dinner. Banquet has come a long way since those days and remains a freezer staple in most American homes.
The Fruit Pies resemble their traditional Pot Pies. They are perfectly sized individual pies. We picked up some of these a few days ago. We picked Apple and Peach. I tried a little of both and was pleasantly surprised! The Apple was awesome! I love Apple pie! The Peach was pretty darn tasty too and was lil Miss. Emma’s favorite.
As with the pot pies, you can either bake them in the oven or the microwave. Well, since this is Texas and it is so hot I am not turning my oven on unless I absolutely have too. I mentioned a few months ago that I did not own a microwave. We have since broke down and bought one. I realized this summer that we really did need to have one. The heat caused by the oven was just too much and left overs were being wasted…so to make better use of what we have I broke down and gave in. So yea, we prepared ours in the microwave and they were still super yummy! I do think that oven preparation would make them even better though!
This is something that I think I will keep in my freezer for special nights and those cravings that tend to hit at the oddest hours. I recommend you giving them a try. The price is right for these little pies!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received free coupons to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

I grew up with my grandma and grandpa’s freezer being full of pot pies and Salisbury steak meals. I always load up on them at the store and are my ‘comfort food’ I suppose you’d call them lol. I tried the apple pie and I agree it was awesome. We made ours in the pie (definitely not a fan of the pot pies in the microwave I always burn them lol) and it was very yummy.
