McDonald's is shaking up its fall beverage lineup with a new seasonal flavor that steps beyond pumpkin spice.

The fast-food giant announced on Aug. 17 the launch of Caramel Apple Pie coffee drinks, available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide. The drinks combine apple and caramel flavors with McDonald's coffee.

"Step aside pumpkin spice, there's a new flavor in town!" McDonald's said on its website.

The seasonal lineup includes a Caramel Apple Pie Frappe, hot and iced lattes, and iced coffee. Each beverage is topped with salted caramel-flavored whipped cream and crumbled apple pie pieces, according to the company.

"Whether you're grabbing one on your morning coffee run, with lunch or as an afternoon boost, consider this your sign to swap those beach day sips for something a little cozier," McDonald's said.

Limited-time seasonal drinks have become a signature tool for fast-food chains and coffee sellers, which use rotating menus to draw customers in between bigger product launches and to build anticipation around seasonal moments.

While McDonald's is leaning into caramel apple this season, pumpkin spice remains a fixture on competitors' fall menus. Dunkin' brought back its seasonal lineup on Aug. 19, including the return of the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte. Starbucks followed on Aug. 25 with the return of its Pumpkin Spice Latte — a drink the chain has offered each fall since 2003 — alongside other fall drinks, food, and seasonal merchandise, according to the two companies.

McDonald's first introduced a pumpkin spice latte in 2013, according to The Associated Press, before launching the beverage nationwide for the first time in 2016.

The new drinks are not McDonald's only apple-themed offering this year. Earlier this year, the company announced it was bringing back its fried apple pie to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

McDonald's could not immediately be reached by FOX Business for comment.
