Well, the best way to tell is to try it ;-)

I haven't tried their lemon, but my SIL did make one of the apple pies,
which I found far too sweet for my tastes, but the kids loved it. Sara Lee,
believe it or not, makes one that is actually pretty tasty. Said SIL made
that one too. She's not big on making desserts ;-) I can't remember what
it's called..fruits of the forest, maybe? It has apples, rhubarb,
strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries I believe. Crumb top. With a
scoop of cinnamon ice cream, it was pretty good.
