No one gets a jump start on the coming season like Costco. It’s not unusual to spot spooky Halloween decorations or frosted Christmas trees in their aisles so early in the year, they almost blend into the background.However, there’s one limited-time treat whose arrival always catches our attention. It’s so highly anticipated by customers that it signals a change in the season faster than Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow.This year, that world-class dessert has made its grand entrance at Costco earlier than ever, telling us it’s officially time to shelf the swim trunks and start prepping our Thanksgiving menus.Costco’s Pumpkin Pie Is Officially Back for FallAttention Costco customers: Fall has officially begun, and here’s why—the pumpkin pie is back at the bakery. Typically, the beloved pie makes an appearance in early September, but this year, it was spotted on shelves (by our calculations) earlier than ever before. Costco’s pumpkin pie has achieved an iconic status among its shoppers—many of whom call it “a staple in [their] fridge from September to November.” The classic recipe has remained unchanged for decades: a simple blend of pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, and a mix of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, all baked in a tender, flaky crust. It’s balanced and not overly sweet—exactly what you would want from a pumpkin pie. And, best of all, you get nearly four pounds of it.

With its incredible 12-inch diameter, this pie ensures there’s plenty to go around a holiday table, plus enough leftovers to enjoy for days. But, what’s even more remarkable than its size is the pie’s price, which has famously held steady at just $5.99.“My first thought was ‘there’s no way it’s still only $5.99,’” said one fan. “I’m pleasantly surprised.”Costco sells millions of its made-in-house pies every year, and although sales usually peak around Thanksgiving, some fans can’t resist indulging long before November. Between its smooth, creamy texture and rich, warmly-spiced flavor, this is a dessert customers crave all through the autumn months. “I never liked pumpkin pie until I had Costco’s pumpkin pie!!! It’s soooo gooooood!!” commented one fan. “Was already sold out at my Costco lol!” shared another. So if this treat is a fall tradition in your family, don’t wait to shop the bakery staple of the season. Read the original article on All Recipes.
