SUMMARIES:
- McDonald’s apple pie goes back to as early as 1968 and is a menu classic. It is the first ever dessert item to dot the menu of the fast food chain, way before hot fudge sundaes or McFlurrys.
- In order to keep on top of their game, popular chains make changes to keep relevant and stay ahead of the competition. This often involves changing or updating their menu options. So as consumers started to look for healthier options when it came to fast food, restaurants had to adapt.
- We all know that apples are a must when making apple pie. Pretty self-explanatory after all, I mean it is right there in the name. Besides the usual sugar and a touch of cinnamon, what else could be added to make the McD’s version so delicious?
- In the 1960s Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, was busy scratching his head trying to come up with a dessert idea that would be a guaranteed success story. After all, his cheeseburgers and fries were roping in the customers.
- Who would have thought something as delectable and harmless as an apple pie would become a hot commodity on the black market. It’s common practice for certain items to pop up from behind closed doors once they have been shelved for good or have become extremely valuable in nature.
- The dessert menu is not just limited to a single apple pie at McDonald's. The fast food giant has dabbled with other types of pies as well, experimenting and keeping the menu interesting.
- Vegan friendly is not usually the first thought that comes to mind when thinking about McDonald’s. But recently, the chain has managed to make some changes in that department to attract vegan customers.
- The international market for popular US brands is massive and chains like KFC, Burger King, and so on have established themselves in many different countries, other than the USA. When we look at McDonald's, they have roots in more than 100 countries.
- Back in the 1970s, there was McDonald Land. A fictional place where Ronald McDonald and his cast of mascot friends could eat hamburgers and fries. Today the restaurant has the happy meal to attract kids, but back then, McDonald’s marketing campaigns centred around the fictional setting of McDonald Land.
- In a move to market itself as a brand shifting towards healthier items, McDonald's has made many attempts to redeem itself when it comes to revamping everyone’s favorite pie. The company has come under fire by those who grew up with the original fried incarnation and dislike the changes made to the pie over the years.

Here in Australia, we still have the old classic deep fried apple pie 👌

The deep fried apple pies were awesome. The baked ones don’t hold a candle to them. A&W has deep fried apple pie and its delicious.

[DarkMetalSpider]

when it was "fried" it was truly the best, I loved eating them so, so much! now, I don't eat them at all.... it's (now) just an apple pie, just like any other....

They are not the same since they no longer fry them. I used to get them every once in a while. Now, I never get them.

Taco Bell's apple empanada is WAY better than McDonald's apple pie.
Also...KFC sells fried apple pies, like the old McDonald's ones...pro tip!😎

Had my first McD apple pie about a year and a half ago. It was really good, but I've never had a second one. I guess I just don't expect that or think about it when I walk in the door. Interesting video.

I miss the fried pies. A&W still has them. So good. I am not a fan of the baked pies.. I can make better ones at home. But a fried pie is unique. They should bring them back.
