It's dangerous living so close to this. We buy one every time we go to the mall, though thankfully we don't go too often ;)
The location is new, though still basically looks the same. A bit bigger and brighter with nicer displays.
We always get the basic caramel apple dipped in chocolate with white chocolate designs. It's simple and so delicious. We have always been satisfied!
We ventured out a bit once and tried the toffee one but the toffee was mixed with almonds and all you could really taste were almonds. That Apple was also moldy which also ruined the experience a bit. On a positive note, they gave a free apple upon seeing a picture of the moldy one. It was right where the stick was, and with the heat it's something that they can't control. It wasn't even a question of getting a new Apple - she was already on her way to the display case. Great customer service.
Now, for the gfree part. This place is not gluten free, nor do they claim to be. The apples are prepared on the same surfaces, and there are tons of opportunities for cross contamination. Here's how I stay safe:
-ask for an apple that hasn't hit the display case yet
-check the bottom before they package it to make sure it doesn't have any rogue crumbs from another apple on it
-DO NOT have them cut it for you. The cutting board and knife are both shared and often covered in crumbs.
I'm very sensitive and have never gotten sick. The apples are dipped in caramel and chocolate before any additions are added so there's no cross contamination there. The biggest risk is in the displays.
Hasn't stopped me from going back again and again. They may not be a gfree establishment, but they are pretty great at helping accommodate gfree needs where possible
