The hot summer nights are starting to catch the cool breeze, which means autumn is just around the corner. With the changing of the leaves comes all the wonderful flavors of fall — like pumpkin spice and apple cider.
If you're craving the upscale flavors of fall for affordable prices, you'll want to check out Trader Joe's for the returning apple cider donuts. See all the best fall flavors back on shelves, and try these popular Trader Joe's shopping hacks to stretch your budget even further.
These donuts aren't just rolled in apple cider spices; they're made with real apple cider. After the sweet and slightly tangy dough is pulled from the fryer, the donuts are hand-rolled in cinnamon and sugar for a fall sweet treat. You'll love these served slightly warm.
Apple Blossoms are like tiny, individual-sized apple pies with the dough flipped over the top to create a flower effect. They are great for dessert with a dollop of ice cream — and a wonderful excuse to eat dessert for breakfast, too, if that's your thing.
3. Maple Poffertjes
Price: $3.49
Imagine a tiny, puffy pancake, and you'll have an idea of what poffertjes tastes like. These are traditionally served around winter festivals and require a special cast iron pan to make, but Trader Joe's has a pre-made alternative that takes less than a minute to heat up in the microwave. These delicious bite-size pastries are served in a variety of ways, much like pancakes, but the maple flavor makes this version perfect for fall.

4. Maple Leaf Cookies
Price: $3.99
Two shortbread cookies stuffed with a creamy maple filling are just the sweet treat to get you pumped for fall. They're great for packed lunches, desserts, or just a snack when you need a pick-me-up.
Bottom line
Summer isn't quite over yet, but the fall flavors are starting to hit stores, and Trader Joe's has some excellent options at great prices. Pumpkin spice may have ruled the past few years as a champion of the autumn flavor palate, but apple and maple are making a comeback.
Skyrocketing prices have people constantly seeking new ways to tackle high grocery costs , and returning to seasonal eating can maximize your budget. It's wonderful to have the option of getting out-of-season produce, but using greenhouses and storing fruits and vegetables raises the cost. Sticking with what's in season keeps the price down, and your diet varies over the year.
