Applebee’s is catering directly to cheese lovers with its new Crispy Cheese Bites.
Applebee's recently expanded its appetizer menu to include the new Crispy Cheese Bites. Just as the name suggests, this sharable appetizer consists of bite-sized pieces of deep-fried cheese. The cheesy bites are then served with sides of both Firecracker Mayo and House-made Ranch for dipping.
As if the new Crispy Cheese Bites weren't exciting enough. Applebee's has also added a new option to its dessert menu. The new Sizzlin’ Butter Pecan Blondie consists of a blondie covered in a rich cream cheese sauce and sprinkled with candied pecans. The whole thing is then served sizzlingly hot with vanilla ice cream and even more candied pecans.
Both of the new items are available now.
