Pumpkin pie is losing its spot as the go-to fall dessert this year, with food enthusiasts and professional cooks looking for fresh and exciting alternatives. Overexposure to pumpkin spice everything has led to “pumpkin burnout,” making room for trendy pies like ube, salted honey, and creative fusion desserts like miso caramel apple pie. As tastes evolve, cooks are experimenting with bolder flavors and unique combinations. While pumpkin pie isn’t gone forever, it’s certainly taking a backseat this season to make way for more adventurous and Instagram-worthy treats.
