Introduced in 1993
This cereal was described on the box as a "sweet apple cinnamon flavored rice cereal" with "all natural flavors". It was introduced the same year as Kellogg's more popular Rice Krispies Treats Cereal.
A jingle from a TV ad in 1993 warned viewers, "You're gonna lose yourself in cinnamon... Rice Krispies... with the taste of apple cinnamon." Some ads (mostly 1994) featured a new mascot - Max The Gorilla Body Guard - who would protect kids from people trying to take their cereal.
The following long description is from the side of the introductory box:
"You've always known that Kellogg's Rice Krispies are good, and good for you. Now you can enjoy that goodness in a brand-new, deliciously sweet taste - Kellogg's Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies. Because they're made with all natural flavors and Kellogg's Rice Krispies, they're fat-free and provide eight important nutrients our bodies need. Your family will love the apple cinnamon taste. You'll love knowing how good they really are. Kellogg's Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies. An excellent source of vitamins, iron and fun."
The ingredients listed on the nutrition panel were rice, sugar, corn syrup, salt, cinnamon, natural apple flavor, malt flavor and a smattering of vitamins and iron.

I have dreams about this cereal. Was SO good! No added sugar needed. And made the BEST Rice Krispie Bars EVER! Please bring it back Kellogg's.

It's criminal that this Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies was discontinued! This was the best cereal of my entire life! It beat everyone else, including Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

This was my all-time favorite cereal. If I ever invented a time machine, my first stop would be to buy this cereal.

Wow, not sure how I missed these during my childhood. They sound awesome. I ate a lot of different cold cereals as a kid in the 80s and 90s, but I missed this one. Sounds like a lot of people loved it too.

I remember waking up early on the weekend to eat an entire bowl of this. I would pay $1000 for just one more bowl. If a Kellogg's employee is bored at work and comes across this website, please please please bring this back.
