Maple, apple crisp, brown butter, oh my!
13 “Epic” Non-Pumpkin Trader Joe’s Items You Can’t Miss This Fall

Meredith Holser is the Shopping Editor at Brit + Co, covering everything from seasonal fashion trends and the best grocery finds from Trader Joe's to shoes actually worth splurging on and life-changing beauty products. Outside of work, you can catch Meredith hiking, trying new recipes, and dreaming about having a yummy little treat.
Though pumpkin spice snacks tend to steal the show every fall, I'm all for advocating for the less-hyped staple flavors that make the season what it is. Some of my top favorite autumnal treats feature notes of apple and maple syrup, and Trader Joe’s has so many delicious options that aren’t centered around the more-popular pumpkin. As a purveyor of decadent desserts and cozy comfort foods, TJ’s has truly nailed down the non-pumpkin little treat game.
Ahead, 13 non-pumpkin grocery finds you should definitely check out at Trader Joe’s this year!
