McDonald’s to bring back nostalgic dessert to mark America’s 250th birthday

McDonald America
  • McDonald's is reintroducing its beloved fried apple pies to mark America's 250th anniversary.
  • The nostalgic menu item, featuring American-grown apples, will be available for a limited time from 23 June in most US restaurants.
  • This marks the first time the fried version has been widely available in over three decades, having been replaced by a baked pie in 1992 due to health concerns.
  • Other fast-food chains, including Burger King, Sonic, and Hardee's, are also offering patriotic-themed items for the semiquincentennial.
  • A 35-foot giant fried apple pie installation will be displayed on Route 66 in Joliet, Illinois, until 4 July.
