Trader Joe's Customers Are Calling This Apple-Cinnamon Treat A Seasonal Favorite

Along with colorful leaves, shorter days, and a nip in the air, autumn's arrival also celebrates flavors like pumpkin, apple, and warming spices. One of the places these ingredients show up most is in confections like cookies, cakes, and pies — treats that are all represented on our list of the best 2026 fall bakery items. Trader Joe's works seasonality into other grocery items, too, like its customer-favorite Honey Crisp apple cinnamon Greek yogurt, which returns each fall.

TJ's chose Honeycrisp apples for the creamy snack ( sold in 5.3-ounce tubs for 99 cents each) due to their distinct flavor. Honeycrisp apples are sweet, a touch tart, and juicy, which is why they taste so good. Dried apple pieces are inside the yogurt, along with milk, water, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, natural flavor, citric acid, and live active cultures. 

Greek yogurt is thicker and tangier than the traditional type because more liquid is strained out, and it also has more protein. The 170-calorie, single-serving container has 10 grams of protein, 120 milligrams of calcium, 6 grams of fat, and 15 grams of sugar. One happy customer wrote on Reddit, "It's just perfectly balanced. Sweet but not too sweet, the apple chunks are a great texture, and I thought there was a perfect amount of cinnamon as well." 

In addition to eating the Honey Crisp apple cinnamon Greek yogurt right out of the tub, Trader Joe's suggests enjoying it with apple slices or celery sticks, or making a parfait with granola. Some Redditors said they like dipping graham crackers in it, mixing in nuts, or doubling down on the same flavor and pairing it with TJ's Honeycrisp apple granola. At the same time, naysayers have been left cold by the yogurt. 

One detractor shared their stance in a Reddit thread, explaining, "I wasn't a fan. There was way too much cinnamon and it threw off the texture ... and made it even chalkier." Another commenter added, "I thought it was awful ... To me it was like eating a big spoonful of apple muffin batter."

Trader Joe's is tight-lipped about the suppliers of its store-brand products, so the maker of this yogurt isn't known. In 2010,  Beth Kowitt wrote in Fortune that a lot of TJ's yogurt sold on the East Coast was made by Stonyfield Farm (which middled in our Greek yogurt brands ranking). It is possible to check where dairy products were made with the help of a website called Where is my milk from? You can find a yogurt's place of origin by typing the plant code printed on the container into the website's search function.
