Can I purchase Apple Care after the warranty has run out?

I would like to purchase Apple Care, but it expired on August 17th. Is there any way to do this after the fact? I don't mind paying a premium but I would like to put it in place.

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

In most countries and regions, you can buy AppleCare+ within 60 days of your device purchase. In Japan, you can buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your device purchase. In China mainland, you can buy AppleCare+ on your device within 7 days of your device purchase or in an Apple Store within 60 days of your device purchase (subject to proof-of-purchase and inspection).
