McDonald’s has brought back its nostalgic fried apple pie to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States. This pie vanished from the menu during the 1990s, as health food trends took over, but now it returns to delight customers once more.
On Sunday, an unexpected visit to a McDonald’s gave me the chance to sample the fried apple pie ahead of its official launch. This is common with McDonald’s limited-time menu items—sometimes they hit stores slightly before the advertised date.
The fried apple pie symbolized childhood for many and its return is filled with nostalgia. While it cannot quite match the magic of those youthful memories, its reappearance is still a treat.
