Apple Pie Sundae
In short
Costco has launched a limited-time Vanilla Apple Pie Sundae in its food courts as a seasonal autumn treat. The dessert costs $3 and features layers of apple pie filling and chunks topped with vanilla soft serve.
In plain words
It is a portable dessert served in a cup. It combines the flavours of apple pie with vanilla ice cream, making it similar to apple pie a la mode.
A simple example
You buy a cup containing apple chunks and pie filling at the bottom, followed by a layer of vanilla soft serve, and finished with more apple topping.
Why it matters
The item has quickly become a popular seasonal menu change, with some customers even preferring it to the well-known Costco churros. Its limited availability creates high demand during the autumn months.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this with Angie the Pie Lady's apple dumplings, which are warm pastries served with salted caramel sauce.
