Wendy's has unveiled its New Apple Crumble Frosty Fusion and is returning to the menu several pub-inspired fan favorites as part of its 'Bring it Back' campaign, according to a press release.

The Apple Crumble Frosty combines Wendy's Vanilla Frosty with a spiced apple syrup blended with oat crumbles and is available for a limited time.

As part of its turnaround strategy, the company launched a Bring it Back Bracket campaign asking fans what menu item they'd like to see back on the menu. Beginning today, the Pretzel Bacon Pub Bacon Cheeseburger returns to restaurants nationwide alongside Bacon Pub Fries and the Pretzel Bacon Pub Chicken Sandwich. The items include:

Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger: A quarter-pound beef patty, beer cheese sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, smoky honey mustard, crispy onions, pickles and a slice of muenster cheese all on a soft, pretzel bun.
Pretzel Bacon Pub Chicken Sandwich: As an expansion of the Pretzel Bacon Pub offerings, Wendy's Classic chicken filet, beer cheese sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, smoky honey mustard, crispy onions, pickles, and a slice of muenster cheese all on a soft, pretzel bun.
Bacon Pub Fries: Hot and crispy fries with beer cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and applewood-smoked bacon crumbles.

"The 'Bring It Back' bracket made one thing clear: Wendy's fans wanted the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger back, and we're excited to deliver," Lindsay Radkoski, Wendy's chief marketing officer, said in a press release. "From the Pretzel Bacon Pub lineup to the Apple Crumble Frosty Fusion, this season's menu is packed with the bold, elevated flavors fans are craving. It's the kind of menu inspiration you'd expect to find at your favorite neighborhood pub, now at Wendy's."
