I devoured these as a kid*. They were one of the regular junk food items my sister and I would buy at the store down the street to eat while watching The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family on Friday nights. I saw them at the store the other day and decided to pick up a box.
I love these things, but I'm not even sure we can call them "apple pie" (I've never had any ot the other Drake's Fruit Pies*). There's certainly apple inside, and there's a crust, but it seems like they took an apple pie, folded it, covered it in sugar, and then deep-fried it. That's pretty much what these things are, and I wouldn't change them at all. It's like having an apple pie Hot Pocket, covered in sugar, only cold.
I've never liked apple pie hot for some reason. I prefer it cold, right out of the fridge. And I think one of the reasons why is because I grew up on these. I wouldn't serve them at Thanksgiving, but they're a great unhealthy snack.
* Actually, I ate Hostess Pies more, if my memory is correct, but couldn't find them at the store yesterday. But I ate these too, and Drake's and Hostess Pies are pretty similar though, aren't they? They're owned by the same company, Interstate Bakeries Corporation.
