Cracker Barrel Old Country Store offers an alternative to the fall pumpkin spice craze by featuring its signature fried apples in four new seasonal menu items, including the Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake, Southern Apple Cobbler, Granny Smith Apple Mimosa, and Granny Smith Apple Tea. The casual dining chain also introduces the new Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd’s Pie.
The new Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake (pictured) features thick-cut country bread soaked in vanilla custard, topped with cheesecake filling, signature fried apples, and brown sugar streusel. It’s served with warm Butter Pecan Syrup and a choice of thick-cut bacon or smoked sausage.
The new Southern Apple Cobbler offers warm cinnamon apples topped with a flaky, buttery crust, and finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
The new Granny Smith Apple Mimosa consists of sparkling wine mixed with Granny Smith apple puree.
The new Granny Smith Apple Tea features iced tea mixed with Granny Smith apple puree and includes free refills.
The new Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd’s Pie is a twist on Cracker Barrel’s Hashbrown Casserole that features simmered pot roast in a homestyle gravy with carrots, peas, onions, celery, and mashed potatoes, topped with a griddled hashbrown casserole crust and a dollop of sour cream. It comes served with a choice of buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins.
The limited-time menu items are available now at Cracker Barrel through October 20, 2024.
In addition to the 2024 fall menu, Cracker Barrel adds several new options to its Daily Dish special. The options include Chicken n’ Rice on Mondays, Southern BBQ Ribs on Saturdays, and Pot Roast on Sundays.
