However, like a culinary ghost from the past, the burger behemoth has brought back its iconic fried apple pie to haunt our taste buds once more… but only for a limited time.
Indeed, junk food guru Snackolator took to Instagram earlier this week to alert fellow McDonald’s dessert aficionados of the pie’s return.
“McDonald’s is ringing in America’s 250th with the return of FRIED Apple Pie, and it’s dropping in two weeks!” the influencer wrote alongside a festive image of the beloved dessert. “Starting June 22nd you’ll be able to FINALLY get that crispy, flaky FRIED Apple Pie from @mcdonalds for a limited time!”
Snackolator also took a shot at McDonald’s current apple pie offering… which is baked.
“While these are available, you won’t be able to get the current baked apple pie, but who would choose baked over fried anyway?!”

“THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOWWWWW AND LOVE!!!” one patriotic dessert lover declared. “The world is healing,” a second fast food fan added. “Nothing says America like a fried pie!” yet another fried pie enthusiast wrote.
Other onlookers chimed in with suggestions for the fast food giant…
“WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT PERMANENT AGAIN?” one top comment read. “Make it permanent! I don’t go to McDonald’s to feel good about myself,” another McDonald’s fan echoed. “Now just start frying the 🍟 in beef tallow again, and we’ll be straight,” a third nostalgic McDonald’s lover added.
