McDonald’s New Fall Coffee Lineup Tastes Like Apple Pie in a Cup

Healthy Fact of the Day

Seasonal specialty coffees can pack in as much sugar and calories as a dessert, largely due to flavored syrups and whipped toppings. If you want the seasonal flavor without the full sugar load, ask for the syrup in reduced pumps, skip the whipped cream topping, or size down to a small. Choosing an iced coffee or latte over a blended frappe-style drink will also typically cut calories, fat, and sugar significantly while still giving you that same seasonal flavor.

Fall flavors are showing up everywhere this season, and McDonald’s just joined the party with a coffee lineup built entirely around one dessert.

The chain has rolled out a new Caramel Apple Pie beverage collection, available now for a limited time at participating locations nationwide.

What’s In the Lineup

The new menu includes three drinks, each built around the same caramel apple pie flavor profile:

The Caramel Apple Pie Frappe blends a caramel coffee frappe base with ice and caramel apple pie-flavored syrup, finished with salted caramel whipped cream and an apple pie crumble topping.

The Caramel Apple Pie Latte, available hot or iced, combines espresso and whole milk with the same syrup, also topped with the whipped cream and crumble.

The Caramel Apple Iced Coffee takes a lighter approach, mixing coffee with light cream and the caramel apple pie syrup, served over ice with the same whipped cream and crumble finish.

What It’ll Cost You

Pricing varies by location, but expect a small frappe to run somewhere in the $4 range, with the lattes and iced coffee landing a bit lower depending on size and where you’re ordering.

Something to Keep in Mind

These drinks lean more toward dessert than your average coffee order. The frappe in particular carries a hefty calorie and sugar count, so if you’re ordering one as a treat, it’s worth treating it like one rather than a daily coffee run.

The Bottom Line

If you’ve been waiting for the fall menu to kick into gear, this lineup delivers exactly the kind of cozy, dessert-flavored coffee drink the season calls for. Just don’t be surprised if it tastes more like pie than coffee.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Herb Butter That Changes Everything: A Simple Preparation With Endless Uses

Fresh herbs — the primary flavoring component of compound butter — are among the most nutrient-dense foods available relative to their volume, providing significant concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients in the small quantities typically used. Fresh parsley contains more vitamin C per gram than most citrus fruits. Fresh basil contains meaningful amounts of vitamin K and the antioxidant compound eugenol. The fat in butter significantly increases the absorption of the fat-soluble phytonutrients in the herbs — including the carotenoids in parsley and basil — making compound butter a more nutritionally complete delivery mechanism for herb nutrition than the same herbs used without fat.
