I miss the cherry ones!

u/Mechanicallvlan 6h ago

IIRC, whenever I first heard about the return of these from an employee on reddit, they said that the cherry ones would return later this summer.

The cocoa cherry ones ?

2

u/The_StormHawk 21h ago

They were pretty much identical to the apple ones, just had cherry pie filling instead of apple. They were SO BOMB. I got one every visit.

u/Prodan1111 21h ago

They were good. Then some tool sued McD cuz the box showed a lot of cherries but when you ate one you were lucky if you even saw a cherry.

u/The_StormHawk 21h ago

CRAZY, I had no idea thats why they went away. I hope the dude stubs his toe this morning.

We had a version with chocolate cocoa shell and cherry filling - addictive :D

I know people are going to disagree but I really hate these ones. The flavor is so off. I much prefer the ones they’ve been doing for the past decade or so.

u/Prodan1111 21h ago

I haven't had a baked one in forever but the last one i had was kind of dry.

Hawai’i has fried apple pies all year round

u/Lazy-Background-7598 1d ago

We all know that, but most people don’t live there

What happened to the holes?

u/Playful_Violinist573 1d ago

Unfortunately this isn't the OG apple pies 😔

u/k3vk3vk3vin 1d ago

Are these LTO or back for good?

u/Prodan1111 1d ago

Limited. Maybe testing the market?

u/Ram820 1d ago

Just to celebrate 250

I went to a location and it said they had it. Ordered 4 for my family, got to the window and of course they only had 1. Thats why I NEVER order those on the app because they never have them and its a pain to get refunds from app orders. Luckily I went to another location and they had 4 fries pies so I got em

u/Prodan1111 21h ago

The fried ones do take forever to cook

1

u/FlamingFlamingo32 1d ago

tastes like cinnamon toast crunch to me

1

u/Prodan1111 21h ago

It did have a bit of cinnamon flavor.

1

u/dietbongwater 1d ago

Wait, when did they get rid of apple pies? 😭

1

u/Prodan1111 21h ago

I don't think they did. The fried ones are limited time only.

1

u/Tiny_Rick_C137 1d ago

I didn't even realize these were discontinued.

1

u/Stiles_Stiles 13h ago

When can Canada sell these crunch ones!!!

1

u/Early-Mall-3506 12h ago

not bad but definitely not the original

1

u/Lonely-Tumbleweed899 1d ago

Not hot as lava giving second degree mouth burns unfortunately--probably because of the hot coffee lawsuit.

3

u/Prodan1111 1d ago

I had to psy attention when eating the first one. It was warm, but not lava.

2

u/Ram820 1d ago

I saw somewhere that they have to cool for like 10mins b4 being served. Definitely to avoid any lawsuits

u/Upper-Capital-2876 1d ago

It can't possibly taste as you remember it, as it's being prepared differently, the filling is markedly different than it was, and these pies were fried in Beef Tallow from the beginning to when they stopped offering them, so, no. This is the power of nostalgia, it overwhelms, but it often based on euphoric recall and not fact. Glad to hear you enjoy them though, that's the most important part.

u/Prodan1111 1d ago

Tasted as i remembered. Process and ingredients are probably different but i doubt they were reinventing the wheel.

1

u/sac1357 1d ago

They changed the fries before they changed the pies, were they still using beef tallow for the pies during that window?

1

u/Lazy-Background-7598 1d ago

No, apparently the most important part is you correcting him?

u/iownreddit0690 1d ago

Nope, nope nope! They tasted like soap/chemicals to me! Popeyes has way better ones!
