Talenti - Caramel Apple Pie

Caramel Apple Pie - Cinnamon Gelato with apple pieces, bits of pie crust and a caramel swirl

Today we review another flavor from Talenti Gelato! My supermarket carries such a wide assortment of Talenti flavors.  They have a lot of the common flavors that every line carries, feature a lot of common mix-ins (cookie dough, brownies, etc) and they have at least four different kinds of raspberry for some reason.  So, I scanned the shelves for something that looked both appetizing and unique and came up with Caramel Apple Pie.  I do enjoy apple pie, but I've never had it worked into an ice cream flavor before.

Unscrewing the lid reveals the milky beige color of the cinnamon base with a bit of the caramel swirl visible on one of the sides.  Digging into the jar of gelato, the cinnamon flavor of the base is quite noticeable and quite delicious.  Talenti does not list the flavor components on the front of the pint the many many other brands do so I did not actually know that it was a cinnamon base until I ate it.  It was a welcome surprise as it was quite yummy and it was not completely unexpected as apple and cinnamon often go together.  The apple pieces were found below as well.  The apple pieces were a little smaller than what is found in a typical apple pie they were soft and soaked in caramel.  Indeed the apple pieces were integrated within the caramel swirl.  This may have solved a logistical issue.  Larger pieces of apple tend to become discolored over time while smaller pieces soaked in syrupy caramel do not have color to lose.  No matter it was quite tasty and tasted like apple pie.  To tell you the truth, I didn't know about the bits of pie crust until searching for the list of ingredients well after finishing the pint.  They were not noticeable.

It was quite a successful pint.  I enjoyed the unique apple flavor and the cinnamon base (which would have been worth it on its own) complemented it well.   If like apple pie and you don't mind the soft syrupy texture of the caramel apple pieces then you should enjoy this pint.
