Old school McDonald’s apples pies were the bomb.

I miss that first bite with the searing pain from lava-hot filling. That's how you knew it was fresh.

I love to send the pics to folks back home who have "baked" pies.

>I miss the cherry ones from when Christ was a child.

You unlocked a memory for me! I DO remember these, they were an absolute treat when I was a child! They were piping hot and soooo delicious. I wonder if there's a recipe I could use to make these at home.

Major unlocked memory for me! Lol. That was the only dessert I ever saw my mother eat. Not even birthday cake. She was upset when they stopped carrying them.

Do people understand sarcasm out there?

2

dlivingston1011 t1_iu130xp wrote

What about your statement would make me think it’s sarcasm? Sarcasm is hard to convey through text unless it’s very blatant you know. Which is why people usually put “/s” when they’re being sarcastic.

santa_cause t1_iu13y7v wrote

The fact that this sub has never been known for its high standards is all the context needed. How can the standards fall when they were never high.

I should add, my comment was intended as a reply, not a comment. Just noticed now its a stand alone statement

Edit: "Is that a McDonalds apple pie" is what I believed I had replied to

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS

I've only seen these outside the US since McDonalds went to the crappy 'baked' apple bearclaw recipe. And I've been told that the factory that makes these, while it is still producing them for McDonald's, is based in Scotland.

MrsPancakesSister t1_itynyml wrote

They’re fried all over the world except for most of the USA.

I currently live in Australia and some of the specialty pies would make you cry. I don’t eat them often, but they had a creme brûlée pie a few months back. It was filled with custard and caramel. My husband and I split one, and then went back the next evening to get one each for dessert with a hot fudge sundae. So bomb!

LostFireHorse t1_ityxtzc wrote

I didn't like 'em, too sweet (for me) even for maccas pies. I do wish they'd bring back the apple and custard ones though. mmmmm

6

MrsPancakesSister t1_ityy2xr wrote

To be fair those pies were rich. But I really enjoyed them.

Now see, I’ve never seen the apple and custard. That sounds so good. Didn’t they have a Cadbury creme egg pie recently, too? Or did I imagine that one?

3

LostFireHorse t1_itz5ma3 wrote

I vaguely remember a creme egg something but I'm not sure if it was a pie, mcflurry, or maybe both. The apple and custard one was soooo good but I havent seen them do it for years. Like my other favourite promo items it seems to be a one-and-done, never to be seen again. Like the El Maco. Actually I think they've brought that back once in 20 years, maybe I'll get another one in my 60s lol (I'm in my 40s now).

3

MrsPancakesSister t1_iu0jrlz wrote

I think you’re right, it may have been a McFlurry. The Smash a Pav billboards always amuse me when they have the pavlova McFlurries. You’d think I eat there often, but I usually just get chai lattes from Macca’s.

I remember seeing the El Maco advertisements, but I’ve never had one. It was definitely a while ago. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you that bring it back sooner rather than later.

gdmzhlzhiv t1_itzmbuh wrote

OMFG, the banana and caramel ones too... they should have made that a permanent thing.

MrsPancakesSister t1_iu0itjc wrote

Those sound good, too.

gdmzhlzhiv t1_iu7ghsu wrote

McDonalds should DM me every time they release a new pie.

2

MrsPancakesSister t1_iu7u9f0 wrote

Amen! Can we ask them to do this? I use the Macca’s app because I love their oat milk chai lattes, but I’m gonna need them to send out a beacon when a new pie debuts. Great idea!

In Hawaii we get 'em fried.

And the huapia pies are out right now. Top tier, warm coconut pudding, fried flaky crust. I’m spending most of my willpower most of the day not getting them.

It felt so weird when my wife and I recently visited Maui and one of our "must-try" foods was from McDonald's. It was damn good, though.

Dunno, but the school I work at in Japan has them in the cafeteria and they’re so good.

The fact that it's like one of the few goodies that's worth mentioning says A LOT.

Just like the McRibs.

Also: dunno but in Taiwan, there's always a rotating "Pinapple burger" every now and then. A mushroom burger, and curly sweet potato fries as well...

Look at that crackly crust.

Jollibee deep fries their mango pies, too, and the texture is similar to McDonald's old fried pies.

If you happen to live near an Amish community, they make the best fried pies I’ve ever had. At least twice as thick as the one pictured and in many different flavors.

There used to be a fried pie place in Park City, KS that we would occasionally stop at on our way to Wichita. They had all kinds of dessert and savory pies. Sadly, they closed down due to Covid ☹️☹️

I thinks it’s just apple pie mix (homemade or store brought?) and fried in a empanada crust (homemade or store brought?) can dust in a cinnamon/sugar coating? Not sure if this is how op made it but I’m gonna give it try! This looks delicious, especially with some vanilla ice cream🤤
