McDonald's Ditches Pumpkin Spice Latte for Caramel Apple Pie Flavor
By Editor • August 19, 2026 • 1 min read
In a surprising twist for fall coffee lovers, McDonald’s has decided to retire its iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte this year. Announced on August 18, the fast-food giant is replacing the seasonal favorite with an inventive Caramel Apple Pie flavor.
This new offering will be available in various forms, including hot or iced coffee, lattes, and frappés, all garnished with whipped cream, salted caramel sauce, and crunchy apple pie crumbles.
A McDonald’s spokesperson stated, "Caramel Apple Pie is the only fall coffee flavor McDonald’s is releasing this year," emphasizing that the decision aims to provide fans with a fresh seasonal experience. While the absence of the Pumpkin Spice Latte is undoubtedly shocking, the nostalgic essence of caramel apple pie harkens back to the brand’s dessert legacy.
