Abstract
Routinely operating since July 2012, the APACHE survey has celebrated its second birthday. While the main goal of the project is the detection of transiting planets around a large sample of bright, nearby M dwarfs in the northern hemisphere, the APACHE large photometric database, consisting of hundreds of different fields, represents a relevant resource to search for and provide a first characterization of new variable stars. We celebrate here the conclusion of the second year of observations by reporting the discovery of 14 new variables.
