The Starbucks Apple Crisp Drink Is Returning For The Fall Season

One of the most iconic features of the Starbucks menu is its seasonal flavors and drinks. From the winter holiday Peppermint Mocha to the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers and the springtime Lavender Matcha, there is always a new flavor to try out. This past July, the coffee company brought back Raspberry Cream Cold Brew and Raspberry Syrup, reviving old flavors for a new summer season. 

Ever since Starbucks dropped the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte in August, fans have been wondering whether Apple Crisp would make a return.

But speculate no more: Starbucks has just announced that a new lineup of Apple Crisp drinks will be available for a limited time only this Fall, beginning on October 14. Run, don’t walk, to Starbucks stores this fall to taste autumn in a cup when the products finally release.

What is the Starbucks Apple Crisp?

At Starbucks, Apple Crisp syrup is an autumn dessert-inspired blend of apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar, sure to make you feel warm inside as the weather turns chillier. The syrup is combined with oat milk and a sliced apple drizzle for the full fall flavor experience.

Starbucks introduced Apple Crisp in 2021 with the Apple Crisp Macchiato, which was a smashing success. Since then, the company has also released Apple Crisp Cream Chai and Frappuccinos. And now, the flavor is back on the menu with the re-release of a fan-favorite drink.

What Apple Crisp products will be on the menu?

Starbucks is bringing back the  Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. This drink features Blonde Espresso shaken together with Apple Crisp syrup and topped with creamy oatmilk. 

Starbucks is also reintroducing Apple Crisp Cold Foam, which can be added to any cold beverage for a silky-smooth spiced flavor. Customers can also choose to add Apple Crisp Protein Cold Foam, containing 15 grams of protein in a grande drink. This menu item follows Starbucks’ September 29 release of the new Starbucks Protein Lattes and Protein Cold Foam. 

What other fall menu items are there?

Starbucks just released the all-new Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte in August. This drink includes notes of pecan, brown butter, and holiday spices, topped with crunchy pecan sugar for a fun texture moment. They also introduced the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado for the first time ever, featuring three ristretto shots for the caffeine lovers out there. 

In addition to their classic PSLs, the Starbucks Fall menu includes the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and a Pumpkin Spice Matcha, for a combination of fan-favorite flavors. The menu also features warm baked goods such as the Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf, the Baked Apple Croissant, and the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.
