Seasonal Pumpkin Hand Pies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Church's Texas Chicken Has a New Pumpkin Cheesecake Fried Pie

— October 5, 2024 — Lifestyle
Just in time for October, Church's Texas Chicken has just unveiled its new Pumpkin Cheesecake Fried Pie limited-time offering.

Available for the fall 2024 season, the new Pumpkin Cheesecake Fried Pie is essentially a seasonal take on the brand's signature hand pies. The new version consists of a flaky turnover-style pie with a crispy crust on the outside and layers of spiced pumpkin pie filling, sweet cream cheese, and graham cracker crumbs on the inside.

The debut of the new Pumpkin Cheesecake Fried Pie marks the end of summer's Strawberry Cheesecake Fried Pie on the brand's menu, but that doesn't mean it's the only dessert on offer. In addition to the Pumpkin Cheesecake Fried Pie, you can also indulge in Church's Apple Pie and Frosted Honey-Butter Biscuit.
