McRib

Yeah I figured the thread bump wasn’t actually for the McRib. Believe me, I’d know long before most people if that magical sammich was coming out of hiding.

But a fried apple pie? I will say, how is that “back” from anything? Is that how they did them in prehistoric times? I worked there 34 years ago, and for several years before that, I absolutely know that the apple pie was baked not fried. Always was one of those things that if they didn’t have any ready in that little hot cabinet on the counter, then it was quite a long wait to make more.

Speaking of their apple pie, there’s been an urban legend that the apple chunks in them were really potato (since they were cheaper than apple) that the mad scientists at McDonald used food additives to make them taste like apple.
 
I guess in my head I imagined fried as like... they make the thing and then fry it like at the fair.

it's a normal apple pie that spends a minute in the fryer.

What on earth would possess you to make such a request? That would be like going to a vegan joint and asking if you could get a porterhouse :loco

I worked at a MickeyD's back in 1969/1970 and we, indeed, plopped the (frozen) pies into a fryer vat to get them to their "edible" state...what they did with them before they arrived in our freezer is anybody's guess. :LOL:

Oh, you poor soul. You missed out on one of the finer corporate industrial food delicacies of the ages.

While I acknowledge that they are, indeed, baked today, they have never held a candle to when they were fried.

When they were fried, they had a yummy, crunchy, yet tender crust. They had these little bubbles of seared pie dough on the outside. It was like eating apple flavored bubble wrap (and who doesn't like popping bubble wrap).

We lost the fried pie in part to the Great Fat Scare of national Food policy (file under "Why we can have nice things").

As I understand it, there is still a McDs in Downey that sells the pies year around.

If I remember, and I will strive to, I will try to get one of these crunchy delights on the 23rd. I will not get my hopes up. I doubt they will be the same. But, I can at least savor once again the fond memories of when the McDs apple pies were actually good.
 
Fried or baked, you can still weld with a Mick D apple pie.

Don't ask me about what my high school buddy did at the KFC when a lady came in 5 minutes to close and ordered the two piece meal. Very demented.

Wait!!! You don't know, or remember, that Mcd's apple pies uses to be fried? They were so much better back then. They changed to baked Probably right around 1990 in an effort to make them "healthier". The fried ones were bomb!

If you ever go to a Jollibee, they have fried pies like the old McDonald's ones. They are a bit smaller, but they so have mango flavor, which is pretty good.
 
I know I'm dating myself when I tell a story about McDonald's that makes the fried apple pie AND a working ice cream machine seem common but if I only had two dollars......

I would get the Apple Pie A-La-Mode!!!

They would break the pie in half serve it on the pancake breakfast plate with a swirl of soft serve.

He could be working at Burger King, spittin' on your onion rings (Ch, puh)

Why I take a pass on ordering anything if I see a bunch of teenager boys working the kitchen of a fast food place. I generally avoid that shit anyhow, certainly don’t like it enough to take the chance given the wrong conditions.

Something like In N Out middle of the day where you can see your food being prepared, I’d take my chances.

They must have gone away not too long before I was paying attention. All I remember were these guys, which you always bought two at a time. But you best believe I’m gonna get in the action with the fried ones when they come back.

Got the fried apple pie today it was so crispy and good it was mmm mmmm good. god frying it made such a huge difference it was like night and day. too bad it's limited time only.
 
It's been so long since I've had mcd's apple pie, I never knew they stopped frying them. :dunno
 
Been more than a decade for me but the few times I had them they were crispy, I assume that means deep fried
 
My first baked McD pie was the last one I had. Must be close to when it started as I really only go there for the janky restrooms on the road. So like 35 years ago :dunno geez, now I gotta go see about it tho I’ll likely just have a bite or two. Did get forced into Taco Hell last week and the enchirito was not totally disgusting and almost but not quite tolerable :laughing
