There are folks that are, naturally, morning people. And then there are those that, despite all efforts, are emphatically not. While we’ve never quite figured out the trick to complete morning person conversion, we’ve certainly found something that helps: a flaky, perfectly-baked morning pastry, like a Trader Joe’s Apple Cinnamon Bun. These Danish-style pastries are made for us by (appropriately enough) a bakery partner in Denmark, who crafts each Bun by twisting sweet, cinnamon-apple-compote-filled dough into a quick knot, topping it with a light, streusel-like crumb, then baking it until it’s gloriously golden brown. It’s enough to make anyone aspire to morning person-hood.

While our Apple Cinnamon Buns can be enjoyed at room temperature, right out of the box, we find they reach new heights of texture, aroma, and flavor when lightly toasted just before serving. Similarly, while they can be eaten solo, they’re especially delectable when served with a nice cup of tea or coffee, like our Organic Fair Trade Breakfast Blend. Regardless of where you fall on the morning person spectrum, our Apple Cinnamon Buns are sure to delight—and their value is a real eye-opener, too.
