Perfect for pumpkin lovers who have made had enough of pumpkin spice lattes, Arby's new Pumpkin Pie Turnover is bursting with familiar seasonal flavors. The seasonal treat combines a classic [flaky turnover pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-pumpkin-square) with a creamy, generously spiced pumpkin pie filling. The flaky pastry is then drizzled with a sweet icing glaze on top to add an extra touch of sweetness. If you're ready to get your hands on the new Pumpkin Pie Turnover, there's just one catch. Unlike many other brands, Arby's is waiting until fall officially arrives to debut this treat, which means you won't see it until September 30, 2024.
