Everyone may be pumpkin obsessed but when it comes to food there is nothing more quintessentially fall than apples. Apple orchards, apple cider, apple doughnuts and apple pie are all perfect this time of year.

But what if your mouth is watering for delicious apple baked goods and you don’t have the skills, the time or are just too lazy to bake something? Fortunately, the good people behind Oreo cookies has you covered.

In celebration of all things apple and fall, new Apple Pie Oreo has hit store shelves. This latest limited-edition Oreo flavor is available at Target stores for around $3 a package and unlike some of the other limited-edition flavor offerings (we’re looking at you, Watermelon Oreo,) Apple Pie Oreos are amazing.

First, the specifics. Apple Pie Oreo features a graham flavored cookie in place of the classic chocolate cookie and the cream filling is supposed to taste like apple pie. Now, what kind of apple pie? That the package doesn’t specify and as any apple pie aficionado will tell you, there are a lot of variations of the classic desert with some varieties being more savory while others incorporate other sweet treats (such as caramel) to make the ultimate desert.

And Apple Pie Oreo definitely leans more towards the “caramel apple pie” variation of things. The filling is sweet, with hints of both caramel and vanilla but before you worry that the cookies are cloyingly sweet let us assure you they’re not. One of our writers has eaten more than a few of these cookies and says that the graham cookie gives just enough savory toothiness to the cookie that instead of a sugar rush you get a satisfyingly sweet snack.

Just make sure you have milk handy. Like classic Oreos, Apple Pie Oreos go perfectly with milk.
