The Burger King Fried Apple Bites are being offered at participating locations in New Zealand to provide customers with a crispy, convenient option to enjoy with their favorite meal. The dessert boasts diced apples that have been formed into cubes before being coated and deep fried to give them a sweet, savory profile. The treat is finished with a dusting of cinnamon sugar to pair well with the apple base and comes served a la mode with a side of soft serve, if desired, for a touch of additional sweetness and creaminess.
The Burger King Fried Apple Bites come in three-packs and respond to an increasing demand for convenient yet familiar desserts that offer new takes on classic taste and texture profiles.
