KEY POINTS

•Kraft released a limited-edition apple pie mac and cheese for Thanksgiving 2025, available online at Walmart.

•They also experimented by adding Greek yogurt and crushed cinnamon sugar pretzel sticks to enhance the dish.

In a brave act of gastronomic science, Kraft launched its limited-edition apple pie-flavored mac and cheese just in time for Thanksgiving 2025, available inconveniently (or impressively) via Walmart online only. Our intrepid author overcame past Taco Bell Baja Blast pie failures, scoring SIX boxes delivered next day to a friend’s apartment—because why buy one when you can hoard novelty nostalgia? The mac and cheese looked suspiciously normal, but the scent teased cinnamon and apple like a scented candle you never asked for. The flavor? Subtly fruity, enough to convince the tasters they might actually prefer this mashup over the classic neon-orange. Bonus experiments included Greek yogurt (yes, for cheese), apples, and cinnamon sugar pretzels crushed on top, elevating the dish to a culinary Frankenstein’s monster of tangy, crunchy confusion. Morale? Odd combos might just be the spit roast of comfort food evolution—if you survive the taste test.
