# Autumnal QSR Biscuit Desserts Bojangles Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Elevates a Classic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2025-09-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-apple-crisp References: [qsrweb](https://www.qsrweb.com/news/bojangles-adds-salted-caramel-apple-crisp-to-menu/) & [bojangles](https://www.bojangles.com)  Bojangles Salted Caramel Apple Crisp has been added to the [QSR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bojangles-peach-cobbler) brand's menu as an elevated take on a classic autumnal recipe to catch the attention of new and existing fans alike. The menu item starts off with the brand's classic made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit that comes served with warm apple topping alongside cinnamon streusel and salted caramel. The result is a sweet, satisfying take on the classic apple crisp that's expected to be right at home within the brand's existing dessert range. VP of Men and [Culinary Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steakhouse-char-melt) Marshall Scarborough commented on the Bojangles Salted Caramel Apple Crisp saying, "We've taken that timeless flavor combination and put a Bojangles twist on it. The contrasting flavors and textures of warm caramel sauce, cinnamon streusel and spiced apples are a perfect match with our buttermilk biscuit."
