**Sweet Apple Crumble (Jungle Flavors) 10% (3-1-25)** -- This one was hard(er) to really quantify, so I spent some EXTRA time with it. The apple(s) were what really made it hard to nail down. Despite extended testing, I really kept coming up with TWO different apple profiles. One was more Apple Pie Filling-ish, and the other seemed to really present as more of a brighter Fuji. Throughout the entire test, I couldn't decide if the two of them really worked or not. Combined they WERE a very interesting combination, but at the same time, not entirely constructive. I did get some fairly decent crust from this one, but the crumble seemed to be lighter at least, or lost in the mix. What's even stranger, is even WITH all of the aforemention, it was actually a really good mix overall.

At 10% it was very full without needing any boosts, and even being billed as Sweet", it was actually just below mid-level sweet. No off-notes, or complaints, except for the previously mentioned apple pairings. The profiles combined were fairly thick (i.e. not watery or thin), and pretty rich, which may have been an Ice Cream layered in there somewhere. All in, I would probably have just billed it as a Country Apple Pie. Literally as I finished the last tester, I finally decided that although the two apple profiles (pie filling, and bright fuji) didn't fully support each other, they DID lend to an interestingly unique apple pie approach. Marking this down ever so slightly for that, and more for the "where's da crumble". Still a great one-shot IMO, and leaving it still high at a **8.75/10**."
