Episode Details

McDonald’s is resurrecting its legendary fried apple pie—gone for over 30 years—returning June 23rd for a limited run across the U.S., sparking nostalgia alongside Burger King’s Firecracker Cookie Pie, Sonic’s red, white, and blue slush float, and Hardee’s Star-Spangled Biscuit. The original 1968 pie, born the same year as the Big Mac, was ditched in 1992 for health reasons, replaced by a baked version with 230 calories—10 more than the crispy fried original. A Facebook group of 130 fans still pushes for its return, proving the pie’s enduring charm. With McDonald’s using 170 million American apples yearly, the ingredients are ready—this isn’t just dessert, it’s a trip down memory lane.
