# Apple Cider-Infused Spreads Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Fruit Spread is Bursting with Apple Flavor By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2020-09-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cider-fruit-spread References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/apple-cider-fruit-spread) While pumpkin is usually the star ingredient of fall food products, Trader Joe's is giving apples a turn in the spotlight with its new Apple Cider Fruit Spread. Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Fruit Spread is a sweet and slightly chunky spread that makes for a festive alternative to jam. The new spread is infused with tart apple cider, tender chunks of real apples, and a medley of fall spices, such as cinnamon, clove, ginger, and cardamom. Though the new spread makes an obvious topper for breakfast dishes like toast, pancakes, and muffins, Trader Joe's also suggests pairing it with savory dishes like pork chops. Trader Joe's new Apple Cider Fruit Spread can be found in the chain's grocery aisle for the entirety of the fall season.
