The 4 Best Fall Pastries You'll Find In Aldi's Bakery

As the temperature dips and the leaves start falling, grocery store bakeries are heating up with a variety of fall goodies. Aldi's seasonal items have developed a cult following, and there is always something new to discover, whether it's limited-time frozen finds or a unique treat in the store's Aldi Finds aisle. While most of its stores don't have an on-site bakery, Aldi's bakery section is just as impressive, and this fall, the budget-friendly grocery store has rolled out several new pastries that demand to be served with a piping-hot cup of coffee while you're under a blanket.

From cinnamon-spiced goodies to apple-packed baked goods and requisite treats filled with the fall icon herself (pumpkin spice), these pastries are worth tossing in your cart. Aldi shoppers know these seasonal pastries tend to sell out fast, so stock up on your favorites before they disappear from the shelves. These are the fall-inspired pastries customers are raving about right now online, so consider this your excuse to detour over to the bakery aisle on your next shopping trip.

Aldi's Bake Shop Apple Pie Bites are back on shelves, and shoppers are already obsessing over the seasonal treats. "Apple Pie Bites...a piece of heaven!" said one commenter in the Aldi Aisle of Shame Community Facebook group. "These things are fabulous and highly addicting. I like fruity desserts that aren't too sweet, and I try to keep the calories at 150 or less. These are perfect and check all of my boxes!" The baked squares feature a sweet, jammy apple pie filling with warm cinnamon spices, a buttery pastry crust and a crumbly oat streusel topping. They are small enough to have with your morning coffee or for a midnight snack. A package of nine apple pie bites costs $4.95.

This four-pack of fall-spiced apple fritters is another classic from the store's Bake Shop brand. And they're making a strong case for adding a dessert to the breakfast lineup. Filled with juicy apple chunks and topped with a sugary glaze, these golden-brown breakfast treats are so good even the employees can't keep their hands off them. "I got these in, told my manager. We haven't even found where to stock them on the floor and 4 sold because every employee wanted one," said one Reddit commenter in an Aldi thread. "These are the bomb. Heat them up for like 10 seconds [and] try not to eat all four." Many in Facebook's Aisle of Shame group also agree that the apple fritters are better once you heat them in the air fryer. You can grab a pack now for $4.39.

Pumpkin spice is fall's icon, and people are crazed to get it in everything from their lattes to desserts and beer. And Aldi shoppers can't get enough of the store's Specially Selected Pumpkin Cream Cheese Blossoms seasonal treat. "Guys, I ran back to Aldi to buy four more of these!" Absolutely delicious! We cooked them in the air fryer last night with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish, and it was amazing! [...] 10/10 recommend," said one commenter on the Aldi Aisle of Shame Facebook group. The blossoms are in the frozen section and come in a box of two. The flaky folded pastry features a spiced pumpkin cream cheese filling and is topped with creamy caramel, a sweetened glaze, and coarse sugar. The blossoms are priced at $3.49, and the store also carries apple-cranberry and caramel apple flavors.

Soft, buttery brioche gets a fall upgrade with Aldi's Specially Selected Apple Cinnamon Brioche Ring. Returning as a seasonal staple, the ring features seven brioche rolls swirled with sweet-and-tart apple filling and cinnamon spices. You can easily pull it apart to share, or just to snack on by yourself! It comes in a disposable pie tin, so you could easily heat it up. "I put it in for 10 minutes...it looks like a perfect little cinnamon roll," said Tammy Dunn in her YouTube review after heating up the ring. "They added a good amount of filling. It tastes good; it's not too much cinnamon, it's just the right amount to go with the apple." All that's missing is a hot cup of coffee to pair with it on a cold fall day. The brioche ring costs $5.49.
