Planters’ new Apple Cider Donut Cashews joins Autumn lineup

For a limited time, you can find PLANTERS Apple Cider Donut Cashews at stores across the country. These cashews are expertly kettle roasted and infused with the comforting flavors of apples and cinnamon, making them an ideal treat to embrace the arrival of autumn with its cooler weather and vibrant foliage.

These delectable cashews, kettle-roasted to perfection, are imbued with the familiar essence of apples and cinnamon. They are now accessible for a limited duration at retail outlets across the country. This makes them the ideal snack to accompany the arrival of cooler temperatures and the transformation of foliage during the fall season.

“We’re thrilled to introduce this delectable new flavor of our cashews just in time for sweater weather,” said Allie Abney, Planters brand manager. “Our new apple cider donut cashews are the ultimate fall snack, with the perfect combination of crunch and flavor that will leave you wanting more!”

With the approach of the fall season, people are seeking warm and comforting flavors, and apple cider has emerged as a popular choice for many. Datassential’s fall trends report identified apple as a top 10 seasonal flavor around the globe. Technomic’s 2022 menu adoption cycle also reveals that apple cider is in the “early adoption” phase, indicating that apple cider is currently trending in restaurants and specialty grocers across the country.

Additionally, 46 percent of consumers are planning to purchase an autumn-flavored food or beverage item this fall season. This consumer interest prompted the innovation team at the Planters brand to respond with the new Apple Cider Donut Cashews, which joins Planters Pumpkin Spice Almonds as part of the brand’s growing portfolio of fall-themed products.
