The company said Tuesday it’s bringing back fried apple pies for the first time in more than three decades. They’ll be available at most U.S. restaurants for a limited time starting June 23.
McDonald’s is one of several fast-food companies offering semiquincentennial treats. Burger King recently debuted its Firecracker Cookie Pie, which has a sugar cookie crust and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. Sonic is offering a red, white and blue slush float for $2.50. Hardee’s has an iced Star-Spangled Biscuit with red and blue sprinkles.
Their fried pies were outstanding. I remember making them and the cherry pies. 20 minutes in 350F lard and then 20 minutes minimum before going into the warming display rack.
ReplyDeleteI was frying those things at McDonalds on July 4, 1976. I liked the cherry better.
ReplyDeleteAuf Deutsch, Apfel tasche.
ReplyDeleteArby's is selling hamburgers for $1.99.
ReplyDeleteSome places would fry the pies in the same oil they used for fries and fish filets.
ReplyDeleteSounds like KFC in London
DeleteHotter than the surface of the sun. Holy moly, my tongue just went into hiding.
ReplyDeleteFilet of fish, large fries, a milk and apple pie, yumpster.
ReplyDeleteFirst and only time I ate one, it peeled the skin off the roof of my mouth and fried my tongue. There's really no reason for them to be served at the temperature of the sun.

We didn't have a McDonald's in my hometown when I was in high school, but we had a Jack-in-the-Box. I worked there my junior year, and they had big, half-moon shaped apple and lemon pies. I fried a lot of those, and ate far more than my share of apple pies.
ReplyDeleteI did get to eat at McDonald's once in a while when I drove to Conroe, and I remember their delicious fried pies and the lava-hot filling.
They stopped making them?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in eons.
I worked at McDonald's 42 years ago. If (when) I forget to set the timer on the fryer, the pie would cook until they burst. I can still hear the sound of pie filling exploding in the deep fat fryer...

ReplyDeleteSure beats a bunch of commie faggots telling you how American's ruined the world...
ReplyDeleteIt would be good with a soft serve ice-cream on it. Reckon they will have the machine up and running by the 4th
