Move over, pumpkin spice—there’s a new fall treat stealing the spotlight. Oreo has taken the cozy comfort of apple pie and given it a creamy twist by blending in the sweet, nostalgic flavor of vanilla ice cream. The result? Apple Pie à la Mode Oreos, a dessert-inspired mashup that’s equal parts crunchy, creamy, and downright irresistible.
Meet the new Apple Pie à la Mode Oreos
Imagine the warm, spiced sweetness of apple pie meeting the cool, creamy flavor of vanilla ice cream—now tuck all that inside Oreo’s golden vanilla cookies. Apple Pie à la Mode Oreos bring together two nostalgic desserts in one irresistible bite, with a smooth, apple-and-vanilla-ice-cream–flavored crème sandwiched between crisp vanilla wafers.
They’re perfect for dunking in milk or pairing with a scoop of ice cream. But these cookies aren’t just for a quick snack. Their delightful flavor makes them a versatile addition to any pantry. Pack them in a lunchbox for a special treat, serve them at holiday gatherings, or even crush them up and use them as a unique crust for your next pie or cheesecake. And with their resealable packaging, they’re ideal for sharing at parties or keeping fresh for whenever a craving hits. Whether you’re a kid or an adult, these kosher-certified cookies are a perfect anytime indulgence.
Oreo fans may recall the brand’s limited-edition apple pie cookies from 2017. Now, the cookie maker is bringing the flavor back with an upgrade: a hint of vanilla ice cream. After all, pie à la mode has always been a winning combination—this time, it just fits in your hand.
Where to find Apple Pie à la Mode Oreos
Oreo’s latest flavor officially hits shelves nationwide on Aug. 11, but eager snack hunters have already spotted packs at retailers like CVS. You can also order them directly from the Oreo website, where a two-pack sells for $9.99.
There’s no telling exactly how long this limited release will stick around. But if the recent scramble for the Blueberry Pie Oreos is any indication, these could disappear fast. Spot them in the wild? Don’t hesitate—grab a pack before they vanish, just like that final slice of pie at a late-night diner.
How apple pie became America’s sweetheart dessert
Although often called “as American as apple pie,” the dessert actually has European roots. Early apple pies trace back to England and the Netherlands in the 14th and 15th centuries, when recipes used unsweetened pastry crusts and sometimes omitted sugar entirely. English settlers brought these recipes to the American colonies in the 1600s, where they adapted them using locally grown apples and sweeter pastry. By the 18th and 19th centuries, apple pie had become a staple in American cookbooks, evolving into the sweet, spiced version familiar today.
The practice of serving apple pie “à la mode”—with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—emerged in the late 19th century. One popular account credits it to John Gieriet, a hotel manager in Duluth, Minnesota, who in the 1880s began offering warm apple pie with ice cream. Another version of the story places the origin in Cambridge, New York, in the 1890s, when Charles Watson Townsend ordered pie with ice cream and popularized calling it “pie à la mode.” By the early 20th century, the combination had spread nationwide, cementing itself as a classic American comfort dessert.
