McDonald's Caramel Apple Pie McCafé Drinks Are Off the Menu — No End Date Was Ever Announced

Published Aug 22, 2026Updated Sep 21, 2026Officially confirmed

McDonald's Caramel Apple Pie McCafé line — the Frappé, Iced Coffee and Latte that were the chain's fall 2026 coffee flavour — is no longer listed on McDonald's US menu. Checked on September 21, 2026, the McCafé menu shows none of the three, and the product page McDonald's ran for the Iced Coffee now redirects to the general McCafé listing. McDonald's never published a launch date, an end date or a price for the range.

What was announced

McDonald's added a Caramel Apple Pie flavour to its McCafe range for fall 2026, across three drinks: the Frappe, the Iced Coffee and the Latte. On its own Trending Now page the company describes the build as apple pie crumble, salted caramel flavoured whipped topping and caramel apple pie flavoured syrup, available at participating restaurants for a limited time. The Iced Coffee product page adds that it is served over ice, comes in small, medium and large, and is 290 calories in a medium. McDonald's has not published a launch date, an end date or a price, and no pumpkin spice coffee appears in the lineup this year.

Why it matters

McDonald's has run a pumpkin spice coffee for years, and this year its fall coffee is apple. That is one chain's decision, but it is not an isolated one: Wendy's pitched its new fall dessert at customers looking beyond pumpkin spice, Krispy Kreme added an Apple Crisp Latte, Starbucks built a new cider-inspired Chaider, and Taco Bell brought back the Caramel Apple Empanada. For a reader the practical point is narrower — if you go to McDonald's expecting a seasonal pumpkin drink this year, the seasonal drink is apple.

It is no longer on the menu

Checked on September 21, 2026, McDonald's McCafé menu lists none of the three Caramel Apple Pie drinks. The menu shows the year-round lineup — Iced Coffee, Caramel and Mocha Frappés, the latte, cappuccino and macchiato range — and no seasonal apple item.

Two further signs point the same way. The product page McDonald's ran for the Caramel Apple Pie Iced Coffee no longer exists; that URL now redirects to the general McCafé menu. And the chain's Trending Now page, which promoted the line as its fall coffee while it ran, now promotes new refreshers and crafted sodas instead.

McDonald's has not announced that the range has ended. Menus also vary by restaurant, so an individual location may still have syrup left. What can be said from the company's own site is that the range is no longer listed nationally.

What McDonald's said was in it

While the range was listed, McDonald's described it on its own site as apple pie crumble, salted caramel flavoured whipped topping and caramel apple pie flavoured syrup, brought together in the Caramel Apple Pie Frappe, Iced Coffee and Latte.

The product page for the Iced Coffee went a little further: apple pie crumble topping meeting caramel apple pie flavoured syrup plus salted caramel flavoured whipped topping, sold in small, medium and large, with a medium listed at 290 calories. That page no longer exists — the URL now redirects to McDonald's general McCafé menu — so this is the record of what the company published while the drinks were on sale, verified against that page on August 22, 2026.

There was no pumpkin spice coffee alongside it

The notable thing about McDonald's fall coffee in 2026 was what was missing from it. While the Caramel Apple Pie line ran, the chain's own Trending Now page promoted it as the fall coffee and listed no pumpkin spice drink anywhere in the lineup.

That page has since moved on: checked on September 21, 2026, it promotes new refreshers and crafted sodas, and carries no Caramel Apple Pie item and no pumpkin spice coffee. McDonald's has never published a statement explaining the absence of a pumpkin coffee, and this page does not guess at one.

No date, no price, and no announced ending

McDonald's never published a launch date for the Caramel Apple Pie drinks on either its Trending Now page or the product pages. Several publications reported August 18, 2026 as the day they went on sale. That may well be right, but it is reporting rather than a company statement, so it is not recorded as a confirmed launch date here.

No price was published either: McDonald's restaurants set their own, so any figure quoted elsewhere did not come from the company.

And no end date was ever announced. The range was described as limited-time from the start, and it has now simply stopped being listed, with no last day given before or after the fact. That is the ordinary pattern for a McDonald's seasonal item, and it is why this page tracked the listing rather than waiting for an announcement that was never going to come.

Individual restaurants vary, so ask locally, but it is no longer listed nationally.
