Welp, so much for a slow news week.
Having bemoaned just yesterday how no show-stopping new cereals in some time, the breakfast gods must’ve heard my cries. Appearing entirely without warning, fanfare, nor heralding angels, Apple Pie Toast Crunch is apparently hitting shelves.
This stuff was found at Albertson’s by Chris’s Cereal Crusade, and its wintery branding seems to suggest Apple Pie Toast Crunch is either a companion or replacement for long-time seasonal specialty Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch—here’s hoping it’s the former, so I can mix the two.
Toast Crunch devotees will no-doubt notice how similar Apple Pie Toast Crunch sounds to now-discontinued Apple Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the key difference being the older of the two used French Toast Crunch’s bread-shaped pieces instead of these crazy squares. To be honest, I dearly miss the dense ‘n’ crunchy era of adorably sliced Toast Crunches—especially the sugar-dusted ones—but it’s hard to get mad about something that sounds as good as, well, Apple Pie Toast Crunch.
I’ll certainly be on the lookout for this stuff as it hopefully pops up in more stores soon. If you’ve tried it, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
“replacement for long-time seasonal specialty Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch”
I will straight up cut a bitch.
Apple Pie and apples in general are synonymous with Autumn not Christmas. Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch is a permanent seasonal offering and listed on cinnamontoastcrunch.com These are not going to replace SCTC, just a cold addition to the TC Family. Hope they will consider Blueberry Toast Crunch as well.
Meant to say cool addition, not cold addition.
I miss those little bread-shaped pieces, too! They were dense and kind of buttery and delicious.
I can’t tell if the little mascots are dressed for autumn or winter. They’re wearing similar headgear to those that are on the sugar cookie toast crunch box, but if this were a winter cereal I have to think there’d be snowflakes or snowmen or *something* festive indicating the occasion.
