REVIEW: We KNOW Apple Desserts at Disney World, but These Are Making Us Question Everything

It’s no secret that we love the Cake Bake Shop at Disney World. The quick-service bakery offers high-quality sweet treats like cakes, pies, and macarons!

Apple Pie Marie Antoinette

We tried their brand-new Apple Crumble Cake when it was released and loved it, so when we heard Cake Bake added two new apple crumble treats, we had to run over and try them!

The Apple Crumble Pie Slice is $15 at the Cake Bake Shop Bakery. It’s made with Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, orange zest, all-butter pie crust, and cinnamon butter crumble. This apple pie features twelve Granny Smith apples and was voted Best Apple Pie by RTV6, so we had high hopes.

This pie is packed with crunchy, sweet apples coated in cinnamon sugar, with plenty of apple flavor in every bite. The crust is buttery soft, and the oat crumble adds crunch. We couldn’t taste any orange zest, so don’t let the menu description scare you. The slice is six inches tall, so it’s a great portion size and easily shareable.

Then, we tried the Apple Pie Marie Antoinette for $15. This is two macaron shells filled with cinnamon caramel buttercream, vanilla pastry cream, apple pie filling, and salted caramel.

The most prominent flavor is vanilla from the vanilla pastry cream and macaron shells. There’s quite a bit of cinnamon in the cinnamon caramel buttercream, and the salted caramel adds a dark, rich sweetness in every bite. The apple pie filling was sweet with a strong apple flavor, but because it’s only in the middle, you’re not getting apple flavor in every bite like we were expecting.

If you prefer cake, we tried the Apple Crumble Cake for $22 earlier this month. This is an apple spice cake with real apples and pecans, filled with homemade salted caramel and caramel buttercream, then frosted with caramel buttercream, topped with apple pie crumbles, and drizzled with more salted caramel.

The apple spice cake is super soft and packed with cinnamon and apple chunks. The apple pieces are very soft and don’t add much to the texture, but it brings a strong apple-forward flavor. Pecans are mixed into the batter and add a crunch. The buttercream is super creamy and caramel-flavored to add some sweetness. This tasted just like fall, and if pumpkin isn’t your jam, you’re going to love this!
