Quite bland..
Got them just as store staff unloaded fresh delivery on shelf. They stayed soft and 'fresh' alright even until the 'best by date', when handled & stored properly. But tasted quite bland with barely any hint of cinnamon, much less apples. Disappointing. Would dearly love to see Chocolate/Caramel hot x buns back, which we bought throughout Easter until Tesco stopped selling. Though I appreciate taste is subjective, and like most things, not everyone share same taste.
Disappointing
Cannot taste any apple or cinnamon in the product. Very disappointing
Very poor buns
I though these were terrible, no taste of cinnamon nor apple, hardly any fruit, just very dry 'dough' balls!
Not the finest hot cross buns!
I ordered finest extra fruity hot cross buns and was sent these as substitute. Very disappointed! IMO too much cinnamon and very stodgy, cloying and solid. Maybe the apple is also a problem! Perhaps slightly better toasted but not nearly as nice as the finest extra fruity which are really good! Will not buy again and will remember to add a note to the picker not to substitute with these!
Dry and flavourless
These are so dry they seem stale even though they are 4 days in date, overbaked too. They also don't taste like apple, cinnamon or even like a hot cross bun - it was just a stale bread roll. The salted caramel and chocolate ones were just as bad, if not worse.
Purchased as a breakfast treat, extremely disappoi
Purchased as a breakfast treat, extremely disappointed with the contents. Description on packet states « packed with juicy sultanas » Of the four buns in the packet ONE sultana found and no evidence of candied apple. Very disappointing, will not purchase again. Quality control ?
Didn't work for me.
I like both cinnamon and apple but the combo in these buns really didn't work for me.
NOT VERY FINE
These so called finest buns were so dry! I know they are called apple and cinnamon but there was cinnamon overload. Really very disappointed. I will stick to M&S in future. I would rather pay a little extra for a decent product than buy these buns again. Not nice Tesco.
seemed undercooked.

Lovely Hot Cross Buns
Don't know why people say these buns are dry, mine were delicious and moist!
