How exactly do you de-caramelize something?
Sure, you could grab some Barbasol and shave a caramel apple, but it would be much harder to cleanly disembowel a Rolo, power wash some caramel corn, or exorcise a Werther’s Original.
And I bet it would be downright impossible to synthesize the caramel out of a Caramel Apple Pop-Tart, so while we have yet to hear if Kellogg’s delightfully golden-juiced toaster pastries will be returning this year, we do know the brand’s autumnal fair will soon be joined by Crisp Apple. So this could be Caramel Apple unmasked, or Crisp Apple Pop-Tarts could just be the spiritual successor to the busheled lineage of apple Pop-Tarts flavors that have already come and gone.
Apple Cinnamon. Apple Blast. Apple Strudel. American Apple Pie. Apple Cinnamon Muffin. Jolly Rancher Green Apple. The list goes on—heck, Apple Currant was even one of Pop-Tarts opening flavors. But the unconventionally named Crisp Apple Pop-Tarts—were they not named Apple Crisp to avoid the cinnamon dessert-esque connotations?—rather than an inside-out apple pie, look more like Apple Blast than anything, with a simple sheet-ghost frosting and likely beige filling.
As first reported by Candy Hunting, these will be an exclusive Pop-Tart flavor, but we don’t know where at yet. So while there’s an outside chance your local orchard is growing an exclusive strain of them, Crisp Apple’s jumbo packaging suggests, at least to me, that a big box store like Walmart might be a better place to camp.
It won’t stop me from doing my Johnny Appleseed cosplay, though!
I was so fond of the Dutch Apple pop tarts growing up I’ve been waiting for years for them to come back. I never knew why they stopped however these crisp apple are close enough for me very excited to see them in my Walmart hope they don’t get discontinued.
Sorry folks, these Apple Pop Tarts are nothing in comparison to the Dutch Apple Pop Tarts of the 70’s and 80’s. If you like Apple, then these are good (for you) but I was extremely disappointed in these. I have been hoping for years that Kellogg would bring them (Dutch Apple) back, even for a limited time, but they have not. I thought when I purchased these that they would be close. Nope. They are far from the delicious Dutch Apple. I’m still waiting Kellogg…… 😩
What took so long to bring back a flavor that should never have been stopped. This was my go to pop tart growing up. Please don’t make the mistake of stopping again!
Grew up with this pop tart. Waited decades for the return ! Walmart in Texas, just sitting on the floor. There is only a few left.
These are amazing!! Now if they’ll bring back the grape frosted pop tarts. 🍇
I have waited FOREVER for these to come back. Thanks so much. Haven’t bought pop tarts at all since you stopped the apple. Now I will stock up my freezer in case you quit again
Crisp Apple pop tarts have arrived in Hoover, AL. They are food but I still dream of the apple cinnamon ones that did not have frosting, just cinnamon. These are way better than most of the other apple varieties though.
The one you need to compare this to is the old original classic – Dutch Apple!
