Cinnabon is adding a festive twist to its menu this season with the debut of its Apple Crumble lineup, a fresh take on the classic holiday dessert. Launching nationwide on November 3, the limited-time treats come in two indulgent varieties: Apple Crumble Topped Bon and the Apple Crumble Center of the Roll. Both options feature warm spiced apples, caramel drizzle, and a buttery streusel crumble.
Also making a comeback is Cinnabon’s Caramel Pecan collection, featuring the Caramel Pecan Topped Bon, Caramel Pecan Center of the Roll, and the Caramel Chillatta, a creamy blended caramel drink crowned with whipped cream. Interested consumers can experience the cozy, nostalgic flavors of these treats in time for the holiday season.
