FAST FOOD NEWS: Subway Apple Pie and Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Autumn Carved Turkey Pumpkin Spice Apple Pie Cookies SUBWAY

Subway is getting into the autumn season with two new fall-inspired cookies — apple pie and pumpkin spice.

The chain’s Apple Pie Cookies are made with Granny Smith and Fuji Apples grown in the Pacific Northwest. The naturally sweetened apple chunks are lightly coated with cinnamon. Nutmeg, cloves, and natural apple flavor are blended into the dough to create a traditional apple pie flavor.

Subway’s Pumpkin Spice Cookies feature pumpkin-flavored dough, natural vanilla, molasses, nutmeg, white confectionary chips, and cinnamon.

The sub chain also has a new sandwich with a new sauce. The Autumn Carved Turkey Sandwich features all-white meat carved turkey, 9-grain wheat bread, cheddar cheese, spinach, tomato, red onion, and the new Sweet Cranberry Mustard Sauce. Suggested retail pricing starts at $4.75 for a six-inch and $7.75 for a Footlong.

The cookies and sandwich are available at Subway restaurants nationwide for a limited time.

If you’ve tried the cookies or the sandwich, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
