These new Trader Joe’s items embrace fall flavors, Oktoberfest
As autumn leaves begin to fall, pumpkin products hit the shelves. In this transition between August and September, Trader Joe’s is launching products that feel distinctly summer (such as Honey Mustard Popcorn and Cherry Pie Flavored cookies) as well as items embracing fall (pumpkin-flavored favorites are slowly returning).
New fall items at Trader Joe’s
Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake ($5.99): Trader Joe’s iconic Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake has returned for the fall. Joining other flavors of Mini Sheet Cakes, the pumpkin variety features a cake made with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, topped with a cream cheese frosting.
Apple Cider Donuts ($4.99): If pumpkin spice isn’t your fall flavor of choice, Trader Joe’s has also brought back its Apple Cider Donuts for a limited time. Made at a family-owned bakery in Massachusetts, these cake-style doughnuts are made from apple cider and coated in cinnamon sugar.

Try dipping them in Avocado’s Number Guacamole for the ultimate snack.
