LYO says:
What is Marko Prezelj's favourite dessert? Apple pie without pie! That was something that inspired us to make it freeze-dried and possible to eat anytime anywhere. Apple crumble aka apple pie without a pie is the second product from the series "Let's cook something up together" created with the legendary Slovenian alpine climber - Marko Prezelj. Sweet fried apples with cinnamon and crunchy traditional crumble bread bring to mind the time spent with grandparents, isn’t that great? We recommend using less water to get a perfectly crispy consistency.
PREPARATION:
- Tear off at the notch above the zipper.
- Remove oxygen absorber!
- Add around 60-75 ml of mild water to obtain a crunchy dessert.
- Stir thoroughly.
- Close the zipper and leave for 2 minutes.
- Tear off at the notch below the zipper, stir again & enjoy.
Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - Quite a high calorie count for a dessert. Needs very little water, just 2 minutes to reconstitute. Bingo! It tastes just like apple crumble, crunchy bits and big pieces of apple. It was lovely. |
