According to Datassential, 87% of consumers love or like apples,
yet seasonal apple-infused dishes are showing up less on menus
nationwide*. The star of Cracker Barrel's fall menu, the new
Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake, features thick-cut
country bread soaked in vanilla custard, topped with
cheesecake filling, guests' favorite signature fried apples and a
brown sugar streusel – the perfect, delicious dish for those
seeking to fulfill a sweet apple craving this season. Each
Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake is served with warm Butter
Pecan Syrup and a choice of thick-cut bacon or smoked sausage,
creating a delectable and indulgent dish.
"As autumn approaches, guests are seeking flavors beyond the
standard pumpkin spice and we know they're ready for warm comfort
food to accompany cooler temperatures outside," said Cracker Barrel
Vice President of Marketing Communications, Julia Perry. "Cracker Barrel's fall menu is
equipped to meet both of those needs. Our new Fried Apple French
Toast Bake, inspired by our signature fried apples, and savory
Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd's Pie, a new twist on our beloved
hashbrown casserole provides guests the delicious flavor and
comfort they're craving more than ever this season."
