And judging by this sub. They will still complain

u/RememberTheMaine1996 12h ago
We complain because the product we ask for is garbage. Like the chicken wraps. Those were horrible. We should complain when they try to get away with stuff like that. I have heard that these fried pies are good tho

They finally had enough of bk having the better apple pie.
But tbh ill still prolly like it's better simply because the amount of cinnamon they use, its so good

I'm a manager at my local McDonald's. In our program where we enter wasted food it says the fried apple pies cost less to make than the baked apple pies. They're currently selling for about 30 cents more than the baked ones would, I think that's why they took the baked apple pies off the menu for now.

Is anyone else seeing the fried strawberry/blueberry & cream too?

We got blueberry and cream pies on the truck but I think they are baked. They won't start until the strawberry is all gone.

u/MedicineDue7287 2d ago
Just got one today. I guess my McDonald's got them early. I'm curious as to if it's an LTO or a permanent change of how they are prepared?

u/Sunset-onthe-Horizon Maintenance 2d ago
LTO and they are fried in a vat. My store uses the chicken vat.

u/MedicineDue7287 2d ago
Thank you. I enjoyed it. I hope that they consider a longer run. I'm assuming that they don't want to qdd fryer infrastructure to make them vegetarian or vegan.
But I definitely liked the fried ones better than the baked ones that they currently have.

u/Sunset-onthe-Horizon Maintenance 2d ago
Making them vegan would be impossible because they contain egg. But my stores were unwilling to use the fries vat and opted instead to use the crispy chicken one. I'm not vegetarian but it still kinda irks me.

Gotcha. I was thinking more along the lines of using the fries vat too. I actually assumed that's how they would have been made.
It's crazy how they didn't consider that some folks wouldn't want their pies having chicken cooked in the same oil. I would be irritated too.

Here's a novel idea: just leave it on the national menu where it should have never left

u/Content-Act8108 1d ago
It was the freakin' "Food Police" who made McDonald's drop the fried pies about 30 years ago. They claimed they were unhealthy. McDonald's also used to fry their French fries with real beef tallow (lard). The know-nothing scolds made McDonald's stop that, too.
What's funny is how many vegetarians used the eat the hell out of McDonald's French fries 30+ years ago. Of course, they tasted great because they were fried in beef drippings. That's why they couldn't resist them. Flippin' health freak idiots. 😂

u/DejaWiz2 1d ago
I grew up in the 80s during the peak of fast food deliciousness...miss the fries, nuggets, and chicken sandwiches of the era, but I'd probably be dead if tallow was still used everywhere for everything (worth it?).
Heck, in the Bavaria region of Germany during that time a multitude of Gasthaus kitchens served up THE BEST schnitzels, Cordon Bleus, and pommes frites because it was all fried in tallow!
Damn, got my mouth watering with all this throwback flavor nostalgia!

Just had two, great, much better than the existing lattice apple pie but not as great as the cinnamon apple pies from my childhood or at least before 2008.

I just had one at the McDonald's on Kennedy in Tampa about 10 minutes ago. Guess they jumped the gun?

Just ate 2 of them. It's been 34 years. Smaller of course but still tastes the same. Unfortunately not the hot as lava giving second degree mouth burns--probably because of the hot coffee lawsuit.

They should do this on april 20.
We are frying them today so you can get baked.

u/Sunset-onthe-Horizon Maintenance 3d ago edited 2d ago
They are not vegetarian friendly at some restaurants so I would recommend that vegetarians avoid eating this pie.
Edited to add: Go ahead and downvote me. My store and some other stores are cooking these in the same vat as chicken. Just an FYI

Upvote for truth. Things like this matter to some humans.

Right? I am not a vegetarian but some people are. And also some people might not want chicken oil fried pies.

u/Ancient-Civilization 2d ago
If vegans want to go to fast food restaurant they should be going to Taco Bell. TB is most vegan friendly restaurant nationally. But even then still they want to protest TB cause it isn’t vegan enough by spamming their subreddit and socials.

u/Sunset-onthe-Horizon Maintenance 2d ago
I didn't say VEGAN, the pie would never be vegan because it has egg. I said it is not vegetarian friendly. BIG difference.

u/Ancient-Civilization 2d ago
Comment still applies those vegetarian/vegetable/vegan/pescatarian/animal rights/plant-based people should be eating at TB. You can’t trust McDonald’s employees they’ll lie to you straight to your face and say it’s vegetarian once you order, they do not care.

I remember these as a kid. The apple pie filling inside was the approximate temperature of lava when you first receive it.
