There’s something magical about autumn at Tesco — the shelves suddenly fill with warm spices, sweet bakes, and all things cosy. And if you know, you know: the best seasonal treats don’t stick around for long.
Whether you’re craving something to go with your morning coffee or a little dessert to end the day, these are the limited-edition Tesco autumn favourites worth grabbing before they’re gone. The best part? Most of them cost under £5.
Tesco Pumpkin Spice Loaf Cake
This one tastes like pure autumn in every bite. The sponge is soft and warmly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of pumpkin. It’s topped with a light icing that gives it just the right amount of sweetness.
It’s perfect for afternoon tea or an after-dinner treat — especially warmed slightly with a bit of cream. Every year, it’s one of the first things to sell out, and for good reason.
Tesco Toffee Apple Muffins
Sweet, sticky, and wonderfully soft, these muffins are everything you love about a toffee apple without the mess. Each one has chewy apple pieces and a rich toffee drizzle that makes them feel homemade.
They’re great for lunchboxes, coffee breaks, or cosy weekend breakfasts. They smell amazing when warmed up — and they’re under £3 for a pack of four, which makes them even better.
Tesco Maple Pecan Danish
This pastry is golden, buttery perfection with just the right balance of sweetness from the maple glaze and crunch from the pecans. It’s one of those treats that makes your kitchen smell like a bakery.
I love pairing it with a hot cup of coffee on chilly mornings. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and it feels fancy for something that costs just a few pounds.
Tesco Sticky Toffee Pudding
This one’s a British classic that never goes out of season, but it hits especially well in autumn. Tesco’s version is rich, soft, and drenched in buttery toffee sauce. It’s pure comfort food.
Serve it warm with custard or vanilla ice cream for a dessert that tastes far more luxurious than its £4 price tag. It’s the kind of pudding that makes a cold night instantly better.
Tesco Spiced Apple Crumble Tarts
Mini apple crumbles, anyone? These little tarts have a buttery pastry shell filled with cinnamon-spiced apple and topped with golden crumble. They’re cosy, nostalgic, and so satisfying.
They’re delicious as-is or warmed with a dollop of clotted cream. They also make great last-minute desserts for dinner guests — no baking required.
Tesco Chocolate & Hazelnut Churros
Tesco has nailed this seasonal twist. These churros bake up golden and crisp, with gooey hazelnut filling inside and a dusting of sugar on top. They’re like a hug and a sugar rush in one.
Pop them in the oven for 10 minutes, and they’ll rival your favourite dessert café — all for under £5. Perfect for sharing… if you can.
Tesco Gingerbread Biscuits
You can’t talk about autumn treats without mentioning gingerbread. Tesco’s are perfectly spiced, soft in the middle, and just the right amount of sweet. They’re the sort of biscuit that makes you nostalgic after one bite.
Pair them with a cuppa or crumble them over ice cream for a quick dessert. They’re inexpensive, delicious, and disappear fast every year.
Tesco Cinnamon Swirls
Soft, sticky, and loaded with cinnamon sugar — Tesco’s swirls are everything you want on a crisp autumn morning. They’re ready to bake, so your home smells incredible within minutes.
They’re an affordable weekend indulgence, and they’re always gone from the shelves before Halloween. If you see them, grab two packs — future you will be grateful.
Tesco Apple Crumble Ice Cream
Yes, ice cream can still be an autumn treat. Tesco’s apple crumble flavour is creamy with cinnamon, bits of apple, and crunchy crumble pieces mixed in. It’s cosy and refreshing at the same time.
It’s a brilliant dessert for those “not quite cold enough for pudding” nights. It’s also one of the best-value premium ice creams Tesco offers — and always sells out early.
Tesco Salted Caramel Brownie Bites
Tiny squares of chocolatey goodness with gooey caramel centres — these brownie bites are dangerously addictive. They’re perfect for when you want “just a little something sweet.”
They’re ideal for sharing (or not) and cost just a few pounds. They’re small enough to sneak into lunchboxes, but rich enough to feel like a proper dessert.
The Takeaway
Autumn is one of Tesco’s best seasons, but blink and you’ll miss the limited-edition bakes and desserts. Most of these sweet treats cost less than a takeaway coffee, yet they make the season feel that much warmer. So if you spot one of these on your next shop, don’t think — just add to basket.
