Salt & Straw Disney Springs brings fall to life with The Apple Series, including flavors like Apple Cider Donuts and Caramel Apple Sherbet.
Salt & Straw at Disney Springs has become a must-visit destination for ice cream lovers who crave something more adventurous than a scoop of vanilla. Known for their rotating “monthly” flavors, Salt & Straw continually reinvents dessert by highlighting seasonal ingredients in unexpected ways. Beginning Thursday, August 29, 2025, guests can dive into the latest lineup: The Apple Series.
This new series will run through Wednesday, October 2, 2025—at least, that’s the expectation. Salt & Straw typically swaps to the next set of flavors on the Friday closest to the beginning of a new month, though the exact dates can vary slightly. To be safe, plan a visit in September if you don’t want to miss out.
A Month of Apples at Salt & Straw Disney Springs
September marks the unofficial beginning of fall, and what better way to celebrate than with apples? From crisp orchard bites to warm spiced cider, apples capture the season perfectly. Salt & Straw has leaned into this autumn favorite with five inventive flavors that transform the humble apple into a showcase of sweet, savory, and even vegan delights.
Apple Cider Donuts
This one tastes like a trip to the apple orchard. Royal icing ice cream is swirled with cinnamon-vanilla caramel and studded with hunks of sugar-and-spice streusel. Imagine the best parts of biting into a fresh apple cider donut, warm, sugary, and cozy. Of course, this has been reimagined in frozen form.
Apple & Cheddar Cinnamon Rolls
Savory meets sweet in this unique flavor. Salt & Straw uses white cheddar ice cream as the base, then folds in elements of a gooey cinnamon roll with apple. It’s comfort food you never knew you needed, blending bakery warmth with a sharp cheesy twist.
Vanilla Apple Custard Tart
Creamy, indulgent, and elegant. This flavor layers vanilla custard ice cream with ribbons of apple and pastry-inspired elements. Think of it as a slice of homemade tart a la mode, only everything’s baked right into the scoop.
Caramel Apple Sherbet
Bright, fruity, and nostalgic. This flavor re-creates the carnival favorite by balancing tart apple notes with buttery caramel ribbons. If you’ve ever sunk your teeth into a caramel apple at the fair, this is your spoon-ready version.
Hoppy Apple Cider Sorbet (Vegan)
Refreshing and playful, this vegan option delivers a cider-inspired punch with a hoppy edge. It’s crisp, tangy, and just the right amount of quirky. This should make a great option for guests looking for a dairy-free treat that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Why The Apple Series at Salt & Straw Disney Springs Is Worth a Trip
The Apple Series celebrates one of fall’s most beloved fruits in five completely different ways. It’s a showcase of Salt & Straw’s creativity: taking a single theme, apples, and turning it into ice cream flavors that range from nostalgic (Apple Cider Donuts) to daring (Apple & Cheddar Cinnamon Rolls).
If you’re visiting Walt Disney World in September, this lineup is a great way to savor a taste of the season without waiting to buy Halloween treats to arrive in the parks. Whether you’re craving indulgence, fruit-forward freshness, or vegan-friendly options, there’s an apple creation here for you.
Visiting Salt & Straw Disney Springs
Located on the West Side of Disney Springs, near the AMC theater and Splitsville, Salt & Straw has been delighting Orlando locals and Disney visitors since 2022. The shop is famous not only for its classic lineup (like Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Honey Lavender) but also for these rotating seasonal menus.
The atmosphere is welcoming and whimsical, with scoopers who encourage sampling before you make your decision. With the Apple Series, that’s especially helpful. Some of the flavors (cheddar in ice cream, anyone?) may sound surprising but might end up being favorites.
Tips for Trying the Apple Series at Salt & Straw Disney Springs
- Don’t skip the samples: These apple-inspired scoops are wildly different from one another, so try a taste before committing.
- Split scoops: Torn between Caramel Apple Sherbet and Apple Cider Donuts? No problem…Salt & Straw lets you split scoops in one order.
- Visit early: With these flavors only running through October 2 (we think), time is limited.
Salt & Straw Disney Springs
Salt & Straw’s Apple Series launches at Disney Springs on August 29, 2025, and will be available until October 2, 2025 (or maybe it goes away a week earlier). From Apple Cider Donuts to the adventurous Apple & Cheddar Cinnamon Rolls, this lineup turns fall’s favorite fruit into five creative scoops.
If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World this September, make sure to swing by Disney Springs for a taste. After all, these flavors are as fleeting as autumn itself, and once they’re gone, they may never return. Salt & Straw at Disney Springs has once again proven that ice cream is more than just a dessert. It’s an edible adventure. Moreover, this month, that adventure is all about apples.
