Panda Express Tree Top Apple Crisps

Tree Top Apple Crisps are the fruit side in the Panda Express kids meals: dried apple slices in a sealed pack, 40 calories per serving. They are the reason a Cub Meal counts as a balanced order rather than a scaled down adult one.

The crisps are apple and nothing else: sliced, dried until brittle, with no added sugar in the standard pack. They snap rather than chew, which children tend to prefer to fresh fruit in a lunch context, and they survive a bag without bruising or leaking, which is why they work as a fast food side at all.

At 40 calories with 10 g of carbs and 2 g of fiber, the pack is the lightest component of any Cub Meal. Included in the $6.80 bundle price alongside the entree, side and drink, it costs nothing extra and adds actual fruit to a kids order. Published flags show none of the nine tracked allergens, which makes it one of the safest items on the menu for allergy management.

How much are Tree Top Apple Crisps? Included with every Cub Meal at no additional charge. Availability as a standalone item varies by store.

They suit kids meals and anyone looking for something to finish on that is not fried. Within the Cub Meals, the Broccoli Beef build at 300 calories is the lightest complete bundle they come in, and the Grilled Teriyaki build at 400 calories carries the most protein.
