Not to be confused with their straight chai tea (sans apple flavoring), this is a seasonal or irregular product that I've found in "Holiday Tea" variety packs and an advent tea calendar from ALDI for a couple of years, alongside "Chocolate Chai."

Here, the apple flavoring definitely adds some sweetness and variety to their chai recipe, which is needed, given that it otherwise is a rather flat chai blend. Since it's a smooth and not particularly sharp nor spicy chai, the apple takes over with little effort, but also doesn't overwhelm, the chai element. So basically, this comes down to whether one prefers an apple black tea with some chai supplementation and caffeine, which is how this tea basically functions. Since I enjoyed drinking this blend, and sweetening accentuated the fruit flavor well, I gave it a "Good" flavor rating. As with their other chai iterations, the aroma was considerably weaker than the flavor, but still pleasant, and an accurate rendition.
