Delish has confirmed that Popeyes has officially brought back Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pies this fall after five long, pumpkin-less years (though now with a slightly tweaked name). Popeyes now describes the pie as a "flaky, crunchy crust that is rolled in cinnamon sugar and filled with a Delightful Creamy Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Filling."
The pies will be available nationwide and go for around $1.19, but that will price will vary by location. All that's left to do is round up some spare change and get your pie on.

You may still be (not-so) patiently waiting on the return of Popeyes' chicken sandwiches, but the chain has reportedly brought back an old fall favorite that could just tide you over. That's right, you may just be able to score the Spiced Pumpkin 'N Cream Cheese Pie at certain Popeyes.
If you've never tried it, the pie is described as "spiced pumpkin pie and cream cheese filling, all wrapped in a flaky golden brown pie crust" and coated in a cinnamon sugar blend. The chain first offered this pumpkin treat back in 2014, according to Chewboom, which is shown in the photo above, but it hasn't been seen much since, that is until now.
YouTuber RoderickEats found the pies this year and picked one up for $1.29. Although he was initially perplexed by the pumpkin filling (it's not exactly pie filling, but not exactly pumpkin spice either), he said he really liked the cream cheese and the combination of the two flavors together. The treat also looks like it's loaded with cinnamon, so if that trio of flavors appeals to you, this just may be your new favorite treat.
Though RoderickEats found the pie in Arizona, a quick Google search reveals it also popped it up on an online menu at a Popeyes in Chicago, as well as in another YouTube review by CB12Reviews in Canada. Delish reached out to Popeyes to see when and if this creation will be released nationwide and will update when we have more information. If you want to give this one a try, for now, you may just have to do your own research.
In the meantime, I guess we can all just go back to dreaming about chicken sandwiches. Remember that?
