Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is declaring apple the go-to flavor for fall with an array of new apple menu additions inspired by its signature fried apples. Guests can enjoy four brand new items showcasing apples including the Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake, Southern Apple Cobbler, Granny Smith Apple Mimosa and Granny Smith Apple Tea. Alongside the apple offerings, a new savory Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd’s Pie is now available, giving guests more craveable comfort food options to welcome in the fall season.
According to Datassential, 87% of consumers love or like apples, yet seasonal apple-infused dishes are showing up less on menus nationwide. The star of Cracker Barrel’s fall menu, the new Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake, features thick-cut country bread soaked in vanilla custard, topped with cheesecake filling, guests’ favorite signature fried apples and a brown sugar streusel – the perfect, delicious dish for those seeking to fulfill a sweet apple craving this season. Each Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake is served with warm Butter Pecan Syrup and a choice of thick-cut bacon or smoked sausage, creating a delectable and indulgent dish.
Here is a round-up of Cracker Barrel’s new savory and sweet seasonal menu additions, available now:
NEW Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd’s Pie: Simmered, fork-tender pot roast in a homestyle gravy filled with carrots, peas, onions, celery and mashed potatoes, topped with a griddled hashbrown casserole crust, finished off with a dollop of sour cream. Each pie is served with hand-rolled buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins.
NEW Southern Apple Cobbler: Featuring warm cinnamon apples topped with a flaky, buttery crust and finished with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Guests can enjoy for a limited time until Oct. 20.
Apple-Infused Beverages: The NEW Granny Smith Apple Mimosa features sparkling wine with a sweet and refreshing Granny Smith apple puree. For a non-alcoholic beverage, the NEW Granny Smith Apple Tea is a refreshingly sweet Granny Smith apple puree blended with signature iced tea for a taste of fall. The non-alcoholic option also comes with bottomless refills; both are available for a limited time until Oct. 20.
Rounding out the fall lineup, Cracker Barrel is bringing new additions to the popular Daily Dish Lineup. Providing hearty options for dinner throughout the week, guests can now find even more options with Chicken n’ Rice on Mondays, Southern BBQ Ribs on Saturdays and Pot Roast on Sundays.
