Review: Taco Bell - Caramel Apple Empanada

A cross between a baked and deep-fried apple pie, Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanada sells for 99 cents off of Taco Bell's "Why Pay More" Menu.

Shaped a bit like those Hostess pies at the supermarket, the Caramel Apple Empanada is for those who can't decide between a baked apple pie and a deep-fried one. You see, the Caramel Apple Empanada offers both: one half is deep-fried crispy with little air bubbles in the dough and the other half is baked with a normal pie crust texture.

As the name states the filling does have a bit of a caramel flavor to it that I find a bit too sweet. While it may be a bit too much caramel sweetness for some such as myself, Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanada does offer the interesting contrast between two differing crusts and a gooey apple filling for a cheap price.
