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.

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.
