Query sqlalchemy and count distinct results

I want to write a query to count how many items a User has organized by Product.title.

This function gives exactly what I want. I feel like there is a way I can use func.count to make this into 1 line.

    def cart(self):
        items = {}
        for product in Product.query.join(Item).filter(Item.user==self):
            item=Item.query.filter(Item.user==self, Item.product==product)
            items[product.title] = {'id': product.id,'count': item.count(), 'cost': product.cost}
        return items

This is my desired return. I've tried joining Product and Item, but I just get the distinct Product returns with no ability to count. Any suggestions?

    Product.title: count
    Apples: 10
    Bananas: 5
    Hotdogs: 1

Tables:

class Item(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'item'

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)

    product_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('product.id'), nullable=False)
    product = db.relationship("Product")

    user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'))
    user = db.relationship("User")

class Product(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'product'

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    title = db.Column(db.String, nullable=False)

    items = db.relationship('Item', back_populates='product', lazy='dynamic')

class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)

    items = db.relationship('Item', back_populates='user', lazy='dynamic')
