PepsiCo has released a new Mtn Dew flavour in the US in time for Autumn.

The apple-flavoured extension comes after a busy Summer for Mtn Dew in the US. Last month, PepsiCo released a Cheetos-flavoured Mtn Dew as well as an alcoholic Mtn Dew seltzer.

In March, the brand poached basketball player LeBron James away from The Coca-Cola Co to star in an advertising campaign for another Mtn Dew launch – energy drink Rise Energy.

James previously fronted Sprite campaigns for Coca-Cola.
