15 Trader Joe's Apple Products Worth Picking Up On Your Next Visit

Pumpkins get the most attention once fall arrives, but Trader Joe's makes a pretty convincing case for giving apples equal status. A walk through the store during apple season (and beyond) brings delightful discoveries of the fruit tucked into everything from breakfast foods and desserts to drinks, snacks, and even savory dinner options. While cinnamon-spice infuses many an apple product, there are plenty of other intriguing ways to get your apple on at TJs. 

That variety is what makes Trader Joe's seasonal apple lineup so fun. You can pick up something as simple as crunchy apple chips for afternoon nibbling, bring home a frozen pastry that makes a no-effort dessert, or stock your fridge with apple-flavored sausage for easy autumn dinners. There's also a parade of sweet-treat choices, from ice cream to chocolate, cookies, and pies. The following 15 products are just some of the fall 2026 items to buy at Trader Joe's.

As a true TJs devotee who shops there twice per week — rain or shine — I've tasted many of these apple-centric goodies already, and you can bet the rest will head to my kitchen over the coming weeks. Some are returning seasonal classics, while others offer quirkier spins on fall's favorite fruit. Whether you like your apples sweet, tart, sparkling, spiced, or paired with savory surprises, there's plenty here worth adding to your cart.

Apple pie is scrumptious in every way, but sometimes you crave those flavors with no time for baking. Trader Joe's Apple Pie Spread makes that easy-peasy; just open the jar and slather on anything imaginable. It combines chopped apples with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a smidge of sea salt, landing somewhere between pie filling and jammy preserve. Spread over toast, waffles, or biscuits; spoon over ice cream; or stir into morning oatmeal.

When craving a warm apple dessert that's ready in minutes, Trader Joe's Apple Blossoms are an excellent path to pronto pleasure. They bring tender filling from Northern Spy apples, surrounded by petal-shaped pastry leaves and scattered by cinnamon streusel. The two-pack box has been a TJs mainstay for many years and fills my own freezer on a regular basis. Heat until warm and crisp, and consider adding custard or vanilla ice cream.

Few foods announce the arrival of apple season like apple cider, but Trader Joe's brings the orchard-stand favorite into the grocery aisle with its Apple Cider Donuts. Hand-rolled in a family-owned American bakery, these cake-style donuts make easy breakfast treats, afternoon snacks, or simple fall desserts, especially when warmed and served with hot coffee or warm spiced cider.

Pink Lady apples are well-loved for a noticeable balance of sweetness and tartness, and Trader Joe's has somehow managed to get those flavors turned into crispy, highly snackable Pink Lady Apple Chips. The apple itself takes center stage, with thin skin-on pieces of fruit vacuum-dried until crunchy and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Toss them into a snack mix, or crumble over yogurt, oatmeal, or granola.

It's possible for freezer desserts to look fresh-baked from the oven, and Trader Joe's Rustic Apple Tarte is one of those. Instead of appearing picture-perfect, the "rustic" appeal is right there in the name. Pastry edges get hand-folded over an apple filling with real cream cheese, cinnamon, and sugar, crowned by slivers of almonds, all browned to perfection. It won our taste test by a mile.

There's something super satisfying about buttery shortbread cookies with a cup of afternoon tea, and these Trader Joe's All Butter Apple Shortbread Cookies inject apple flavor into the equation. Made in the U.K., these cookies feature dried apples, real butter, and apple juice concentrate, giving them genuine fruit flavor without an exaggerated artificial "apple-like" taste. Each one is also stamped with an intricate little apple design.

Spiced Cider has been a hallmark of autumn at Trader Joes's for more than two decades. The Customer Choice Award-winning beverage gets flavored by familiar autumnal spices like cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, with citrus adding some brightness at the finish. There's no added sugar, and none needed. It also shines just fine without added colors, preservatives, and artificial flavors. Drink as-is, or use for spicy seasonal cocktails — appletini, anyone?

Why choose between apple pie and ice cream when there's both tucked inside a pint-sized container of Trader Joe's Apple Pie À La Mode Ice Cream? It's not just "apple flavor," either — there's genuine, cooked apple pieces, crumbles of pie crust, vanilla ice cream, and an apple swirl with cinnamon and nutmeg inside. Eat the ice cream on its own, or pair it with one of my favorites: the adorable Trader Joe's miniature apple pies.

Apple crisp and chocolate caramels aren't always destined for one another, but at Trader Joe's, anything can happen. The seasonal Apple Crisp Chocolate Caramels take inspiration from a warm apple-and-streusel dessert, then translates those flavors into milk chocolate candies with crispy chocolate filling, apple-and-cinnamon-flavored caramel, and bits of real apples scattered throughout. Put them in a candy dish, add to a fall dessert board, or stash away for solo noshing.

Anyone loving classic apple candy should have a blast with Trader Joe's Juicy Apple Gummy Candy.  The tiny, French-origin, apple-shaped gummies come in two varieties: sweet red apples and tart green ones, with a liquid center for an extra flavor burst. They're a playful alternative to the baked and cinnamon-spiced apple treats that dominate the season. Add them to a fall candy bowl, or grab a handful for afternoon and road-trip snacking.

Not every apple product is a sweet treat, and here's one landing largely on the savory side of meal planning: Trader Joe's Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage. However, Trader Joe's sausage stills bring a subtle sweetness to the table by way of real chopped apples and authentic Vermont maple syrup, joined by a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Slice into a skillet meal, pair with breakfast eggs, or grill for a mighty-fine hot dog substitute.

Trader Joe's Honey Crisp Apple Granola brings sweet apple flavor to crunchy rolled oats, by way of dried Honeycrisp apple slices and a trio of earthy sweeteners: honey, molasses, and cane sugar. A huddle of autumn spices include cinnamon and ginger as well as cloves and cardamom. Pour into a breakfast bowl with milk, sprinkle generously over yogurt, mix into cookie dough, or use as a topping for warm oatmeal.

Sometimes standard apple cider feels a bit lackluster for celebrating life, and that's where Trader Joe's non-alcoholic Sparkling Apple Cider comes in. The bubbles make everything feel festive, while still honoring the familiar sweet-tart fruity flavor that defines the "flat cider" version. Chill it well and serve in glasses for a family-friendly drink at autumn dinners, Thanksgiving gatherings, or holiday parties. It's also perfectly acceptable to open a bottle anytime, just because.

Trader Joe's routinely fills my cinnamon-bread carvings, but the Sliced Apple Cinnamon Sourdough Bread rules when autumn leaves start falling. It splits the difference between sweet breakfast bread and everyday loaves, bringing a light sourdough twang, loads of small apple chunks, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It makes a fun twist on French toast, grilled cheese, and turkey sandwiches. Buy two loaves in case they disappear in a fall flurry.

Cool weather brings the belle of the apple ball to Trader Joe's stores: the uncontrollably cute Teeny Tiny Apple Pies. The box comes with four 3-inch miniature apple pies, made in Canada from crunchy, juicy Northern Spy apples. They may resemble cookies, but they're every bit an actual pie, with a bottom flakey crust, cinnamon-laced apple filling, and brown-sugar crumble topping. They're in limited supply, so stash extra in your freezer.
