McDonald's Serving Fried Apple Pie Again for America's 250th Birthday
The limited-time menu return comes as McDonald’s marks America’s 250th birthday and installs a 35-foot pie on Route 66.
- Starting next week, McDonald is bringing back the fried apple pie to restaurants for a limited time, marking its first return in more than three decades to honor America's 250th anniversary.
- Created in Tennessee, the fried pie was replaced by baked apple pies as consumer awareness of fat and cholesterol consumption grew, prompting the company to switch menus.
- McDonald is installing a 35 foot long version that will go on display along Route 66 in Joliet, Illinois, near the Chicago headquarters, remaining through July 4.
- The chain joins other fast-food companies offering anniversary treats; Burger King debuted its Firecracker Cookie Pie, Sonic offers a slush float for $2.50, and Hardee has a Star-Spangled Biscuit.
- Despite its absence from most U.S. menus, the fried apple pie remains available in Hawaii and international markets including the United Kingdom, Mexico, Greece, Australia, and China.
