*Walmart has announced the release of its latest partnership with Patti LaBelle and her Pattiās Good Life brand of pies and desserts.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the line features peach, mixed berry and apple cobblers (each $6.98), an apple pecan cake ($9.98) and a sweet potato loaf ($4.48). All are available nationwide, except the loaf, which is only available in select stores.
Shout out to Patti LaBelle!
According to the press release, 6.4 million pounds of peaches go into the Pattiās Peach Cobbler. The Tribune sampled everything except the loaf, and noted that the crust of the cobbler āis covered in cinnamon, which is aromatic but actually distracts from the cobblerās sweetness. Too much cinnamon on the interior turned the tasters off.ā

The publication also reports that Pattiās Berry Cobbler is āstuffed with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and boysenberries,ā and that itās āthe right balance of sweet to tart.ā Additionally, the ācobblers are not sold frozen, so they donāt need to be heated to be enjoyed, but heating them through does offer a bit of that āfresh bakedā sensation.ā
Pattiās Good Life Apple Cobbler has a texture that is āspot on.ā The desert is made with Fuji apples that have retained a bit of their tartness, and the filling has a āmore balanced mixture of cinnamon and sugar than the peach.ā
Pattiās Good Life Apple Pecan Cake was a major turn-off for the tasters because of the ānear-impenetrable helmet of buttercream icing and too-rich caramel goo.ā The cake itself is a tasty āSouthern-style layer cake of Fuji apples and Georgia pecans.ā
Overall, the tasters arenāt sure these treats are worthy of breaking out into song over, as James Wright Chanel did after he sampled Patti’s now famous Sweet Potato Pie,Ā but they do offer āgood value and flavor.ā
