A nostalgic fan favorite is making a comeback as McDonald’s brings back its classic fried apple pies for a limited two-week run. Starting next Monday (June 22nd), the crispy dessert, first introduced in 1968 and removed from most menus in 1992 due to health concerns, will temporarily replace the chain’s baked apple pies as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration. Fans are thrilled but also frustrated that the return is only temporary, with many calling for the fried version to become a permanent menu item again. The limited-time treat joins a growing list of attention-grabbing menu offerings from the fast-food giant, including the recently launched Big Arch burger.
