Nothing hits quite like a dessert at the end of a long day (or you know, just in general), but sometimes the last thing you want to do is make something yourself. Snagging a frozen dessert at a place like Walmart is always an easy solution. We recently tried five different Walmart Great Value frozen desserts to see which one satisfies the most and we ended up finding one that surprised us for not only the way it tastes but for the fact that it doesn't feel like a frozen dessert.

Great Value Apple Berry Blossoms do require some bake time (unlike the others we tried), but the minimal effort was worth the wait. First of all, the anticipatory scent of them in the oven was a great way to start, and everything else about the pastries was also surprisingly good. We found that the shell held up to the pressure of a fork and the apple-berry filling is balanced, sharp, and fruity. Our satisfied taste tester noted, "The flavor of apples comes through as a clear background to the more tart berry flavors that blend together into a mouthful of pure summer. If you try one non-ice cream Great Value dessert, make it this one."

We found ourselves loving the Great Value Apple Berry Blossoms, and we're not alone in this sentiment. They have an exceptional 4.9 out of 5 star rating on Walmart's website, so people seem to feel the same way we do. One reviewer wrote, "These tasted great. They are easy to bake and they have a generous amount of filling and a good ratio of the crust." Another customer simply said, "Perfect little pastries."

Others mention the alternative way of preparing them, which is by using the microwave. "I put them in the microwave for 60 seconds these fall open and have a lot of filling." That would be for those who are a bit more impatient, because the oven instructions only require you to bake the Apple Berry Blossoms for 15 to 20 minutes. At $3.32 for a package of two, they're also surprisingly affordable. We think you can't pass them up, and if you want to pair them with ice cream, here's our ranking of 17 Great Value ice cream flavors to get you started.
