10 Trader Joe's Finds Apple Lovers Need To Snatch Up

We guess the apple don't fall far from the tree, because we've been looking at this list of Trader Joe's apple items for so long we can only see ... deliciousness. That joke may have been a bit labored, but while Brat Summer may be long gone, Apple Autumn is just beginning — which means Trader Joe's has plenty of apple-flavored treats for you to enjoy.

Some of these items are seasonal, meaning you'd better snatch them up while they're still on shelves. (It's a familiar struggle for the Trader Joe's faithful.) Others are available all year round, which, once you taste them, you'll find is an absolute blessing. Whether you're looking for a sweet baked treat to nosh on or a crisp, fresh apple to sink your teeth into, TJ's has plenty of options for you. Just be sure to get there early because you know you'll have trouble getting a spot in one of Trader Joe's small parking lots.

SugarBee apples resulted from bees cross-pollinating the blossoms from an unknown apple tree with those from a Honeycrisp. The cultivar thankfully avoids the pitfalls that contributed to the fall of Honeycrisps over the years. These are a limited-time item, so be sure to get your hands on some while you can, because these sweet, crisp, lightly honey-flavored beauties can be yours for $1.29 a pop.

What's better than a hot, sweet, gooey slice of apple pie? How about a slice of apple pie arranged in an aesthetically pleasing flower shape? These small pastries, stuffed with Northern Spy apples and topped with cinnamon streusel, are as steamy and delicious as any pie you'll find cooling in your grandmother's windowsill.

"I FINALLY got around to trying these & I ate both blossoms myself with some hot tea. Wonderful stuff & WILL be buying more," gushed one Redditor. Two treats weighing about 4 ounces each are available for just $2.49. This is a dessert you'll be happy to have on standby in your freezer.

Another limited-time offering, TJ's Apple Cider Donuts won't be lining the shelves all year. But if you get your hands on a box now, you'll be rewarded with sweet, crumbly, lightly tangy pastries that will "Ratatouille"-flashback you all the way to a fall fair in 2007. These donuts come to Trader Joe's from a supplier in Western Massachusetts and are available for $4.99 for a box of six.

Most of the apple-forward items on this list are seasonal. (Hey, it beats pumpkin spice, doesn't it?) But fear not, apple lovers: These delicious apple chips, made from lovely Pink Ladies and seasoned with cinnamon sugar, are available all year round. And, at $2.29 for a 2.5-ounce bag, these are one of the many unbeatable Trader Joe's finds for under $3.

Maybe you've had enough sweets, but you're still looking to satisfy your apple craving. Well, worry not! Trader Joe's White Stilton Cheese with Apple & Pear is here to help. It's as crumbly and creamy as you could ever hope a piece of Stilton to be, with bits of embedded fruit adding sweetness and brightness to your charcuterie experience. It's only available for fall, and it costs $13.99 per pound – but take a bite and tell us it's not worth it. "When I tell you I am going to be running to the store tomorrow," exclaimed one anticipatory TikTok.

An apple pie? In wine form? Surely you jest! But while fruit wine is a hit-or-miss proposition for many, Trader Joe's autumnal offering is getting rave reviews online. "Tasted like martinelli's with a hint of wine, very nice!" enthused one Reddit post. You don't have to tell us twice. It's available for $7.99 a bottle.

What could be better than a slice of warm apple pie topped with a scoop of cold, sweet ice cream? But we know what you're thinking: Pie and ice cream? In this economy? Thank goodness for Trader Joe's, then, which has kindly provided a dessert that gives you all the cinnamon-flavored bliss of apple pie in vanilla ice cream form. Said one Reddit comment, "They had this as a free sample today and I was hooked immediately." At $3.99 for a pint, that's a dessert you'll return to again and again. And, sure, you can still scoop it over some pie if you're a Rockefeller or something.

The only thing fancier than an apple tart, as we all know, is an apple tarte — the silent "e" at the end is where all the fanciness lives. It may not be the TJ's French Apple Tart that Ina Garten deemed dinner party-worthy, but its sweet, crumbly texture and homemade appearance make it enticing all the same. The 17.6-ounce dessert is available for $5.99 in the freezer section, and customers adore it. "This is delicious," said one Reddit comment. "The apple flavor is superb, the crust is flaky, and tastes even better with TJs french vanilla ice cream."

Anyone who has tasted Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter will know that the store offers some great spreads inspired by foods you might not think of as spreadable. Apple pie, as it turns out, is no exception. This is a chunky, sweet, flavorful jam-like spread, with brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and sea salt to enrich the apples and make your morning toast taste that much more decadent. Available for $3.99 for a 10-ounce jar, this is surprisingly versatile — as one Reddit comment said, "I bet this would be a banger on pork chops."

As you might expect, apple and cinnamon is a pretty common flavor combination, especially at Trader Joe's. But when it works this well, why fix what isn't broke? This sweet, creamy, tangy yogurt is available for the fall season at only $0.99 per 5.3-ounce cup, and most customers rave about the taste. When one person posted on Reddit complaining about it, this was one response: "Maybe you have covid. Your taste buds are broke." Another fan said, "Oh my. Goodness! 10/10 I look forward to this every year! So yummy!! Love this!"
