Cracker Barrel Vice President of Marketing Communications Julia Perryfurther explained this season’s distinct recipe choices.
“Cracker Barrel’s fall menu is equipped to meet both of those needs.”
Let’s find out which menu items you’re most likely to fall for this season.

This mimosa is an ominous shade of bubbly green, similar to a duller Mountain Dew.
The stiff aroma is that of a melted-down green apple Jolly Rancher.
The taste, however, is much less pungent and pucker-inducing.

The look:It was difficult to make out much underneath the dominating scoop of vanilla.
However, I could see the pale piece of crust sparkling with sugar granules.
Then, at the bottom, just cinnamon-speckled baked apples filled the rest of the small cup.

The taste:First things first, I wouldn’t necessarily file this in the cobbler category.
A cobbler traditionally consists of fruit covered in batter or even biscuit dough.
It looks just like any other cup of ice tea, albeit a tad murkier.

The taste:A Sour Patch Kids effect of sour then sweet.
The first note that hit my palette was the tartness of the Granny Apple puree.
I would best compare it to a 50-50 blend of cider and iced tea.

It’s fresh and light enough to be a good match for most meals.
But it’s nothing to write home about.
The meal comes with your choice of biscuits or corn muffins and clocks in at $15.39.

The toppings were also in place and admittedly helped to make it look somewhat appetizing.
But, this small hiccup aside, the meal is rather inviting.
Not to mention, the sour cream and tomatoes at the crest provide a zip of freshness.

It’s not a light breakfast by any means, but it’s definitely worth a try.
Signature Fried Apple French Toast Bake
This specific autumn-inspired breakfast has some big plates to fill.
Its predecessor, the Fresh Berry French Toast Bake was a sweet anda succulent superstar on the summer menu.
So I expected nothing less from this apple-blasted newcomer.
A generous helping of fried apples is then scooped on top with brown sugar streusel.
The look:Similar to the case of the berry bake, the presentation could use some work.
Each bite was just as good as that first bite of a crisp apple.
Juicy and cinnamon-coated, the fruit obviously demands the attention of your taste buds.
Then the vanilla bread provides a soft and gooey density that levels out each bite.
Hey, Cracker Barrel, keep the French toast bakes coming.
So, perhaps it’s just a new and improved recipe at play?
Mashed potatoes are the suggested side along with a choice of one more.
I chose broccoli and the entire dinner came out to $14.89.
The taste:A classic stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal.
It’s everything tasty about the breakfast Shepherd’s Pieminus the peas and with different meatyet elevated.
The meat itself is unbelievably tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth.
This meal is the definition of homestyle cookin' and hearty comfort foodeverything Cracker Barrel stands for.
It sounds like Sundays are about to be even more popular at the chain.
