The OREO Apple Pie a la Mode cookies are the Nabisco-owned brand's latest take on its signature sandwich cookies that are crafted with the namesake signature diner dessert in mind. The sandwich cookies are crafted with Golden OREO cookies to give them a more straightforward sweetness when compared to the cocoa-flavored originals and are paired with an apple pie and vanilla-flavored creme. The cookies are thus characterized by their sweet, slightly tart and vanilla-forward flavor that mimics the taste of a slice of pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream perfectly.
The OREO Apple Pie a la Mode cookies are limited-edition and are launching as a late-summer treat that will help consumers shift from lighter tastes to richer cold weather options.
