STARBUCKS is bringing back its fan favorite Apple Crisp flavor this fall for a limited time.
The flavor is coming back on October 14, and will be available in a range of drink types including espressos and protein shakes.

Starbucks previously brought back its raspberry flavored drinks in July for the summer season.
There will be three drinks launching that use the Apple Crisp flavor, while supplies last.
These are the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, Apple Crisp Cream Cold Foam and new Apple Crisp Protein Cold Foam.
The espresso features notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, topped off with oatmilk.
And the protein cold foam offers 15 grams of protein, an option that is coming to other drinks on September 29.
On social media, plenty of Starbucks fans have reacted positively to the Apple Crisp news.
One person wrote on Instagram: “This is the best news“.
POWER IN PROTEIN
Starbucks hinted at this protein direction back in June, after CEO Brian Niccol hinted that he wanted to follow TikTok trends.
The company had previously tested out cold foam protein drinks in five locations in a sugar-free vanilla latte with banana foam.
Niccol said that he noticed customers putting their own protein powder into their Starbucks drinks before he decided that Starbucks could do it instead.
He said: “I’m like, well, wait a second, we can make this experience better for them.
“The good news is now I think we’re right on trend, and we can do it I think arguably better than anybody else.”
Other major chains like Dutch Bros have already started selling protein coffee options.
PUMPKIN SPICE
One of Starbucks’ most popular drinks, its Pumpkin Spice Latte, is officially back for the fall.

But fans might be disappointed to see that the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato has not made a comeback.
There are also new items for fall at Starbucks, like a Pecan Oatmilk Cortado and Coconut Oatmilk Macchiato.
Outside of the coffeehouse, Starbucks has expanded its grocery range to include Pumpkin Spice coffees and creamers.
These are available in roast & ground coffee, K-Cups, and Nespresso capsules.
All customers need to do is add a splash of cream to make their own Starbucks coffee at home.
