As the winter chill sets in and holiday lights twinkle brighter, there’s nothing quite like a warm, indulgent dessert to make the season feel merry and bright. Enter Applebee’s latest temptation: the Sizzlin’ Cookie Dough Pie, a gooey, shareable treat that’s already capturing hearts (and spoons) across the country. Launched just in time for the holidays on November 10, this nostalgic dessert is served sizzling hot in a skillet, promising to melt away any post-dinner blues with its layers of pure comfort.
Picture this: A warm skillet arrives at your table, bubbling with soft, chocolate chip-studded cookie dough pie that’s baked to perfection—crispy edges giving way to a molten center of sugary bliss. Topped with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream that begins to soften on contact, and finished with a luscious caramel drizzle that ties it all together in sweet, sticky harmony. It’s the kind of dessert that evokes memories of sneaking bites of raw cookie dough from the bowl, but elevated to restaurant-worthy decadence.
At just $6.99, the Sizzlin’ Cookie Dough Pie is priced to share—whether you’re splitting it with a loved one after a cozy date night or treating the whole family to a post-holiday meal indulgence. “There’s no better way to round out your meal than with our new Sizzlin’ Cookie Dough Pie!” enthuses Michelle Chin, Applebee’s Chief Marketing Officer, in a recent announcement. And she’s spot on; this isn’t just a dessert—it’s a hug in edible form, perfect for those crisp December evenings when all you crave is something warm and familiar.
