Arson Brothers Eats: McDonald's is Bringing Back the OG Fried Apple Pie! ππ₯§β¨
McDonald's is bringing pure nostalgia to the menu this summer! After more than three decades, they are officially bringing back the legendary Fried Apple Pie to celebrate America's 250th birthday. πΊπΈπ
Here is the full breakdown of the massive menu return:
π₯§ The OG Recipe -- This all-day menu item features their signature filling made with 100% American-grown apples, wrapped up in the golden, flaky fried crust that fans have been craving since it was replaced by the baked version in 1992. ππ€€
ποΈ The Timeline -- The classic fried pie officially hits the menu at participating locations nationwide starting June 23. β³π Good things do not last forever though, as this will only be available for a limited time! πββοΈπ¨
πΈ The Celebration -- To really celebrate the massive return, McDonald's is even installing a 35-foot-tall giant fried apple pie monument right off Route 66 in Joliet, Illinois, which will be standing tall until July 4! πΊοΈπ
