McDonald’s Brings Back the OG Fried Apple Pie: A Nostalgic Return for America’s 250th Birthday

After more than three decades of fan demands, McDonald’s is frying up a beloved classic once again. The original Fried Apple Pie is returning to menus nationwide starting June 23, for a limited time as part of the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

The iconic dessert, first introduced in 1968 alongside the Big Mac, features a crispy, golden fried crust filled with 100% American-grown apples. It was a menu staple until the early 1990s, when McDonald’s switched to a baked version amid the low-fat food trend.

The limited-time item will temporarily replace the baked apple pie at participating locations and will be available all day for roughly two weeks or while supplies last. Pricing is expected to be around $1.89–$2.49 depending on location.
