Summary
McDonald’s is reviving its iconic 1968 fried apple pie for a limited time starting June 23rd, sparking nostalgia and fan frenzy — part of a patriotic fast-food celebration with Burger King, Sonic, and Hardee’s dropping retro treats too. The original fried version, born in Tennessee and once wrapped in cardboard, was replaced by baked pies in ‘92 due to health trends, but now fans are rallying to bring back the crispy, calorie-packed classic — while McDonald’s still uses 170 million American apples annually.
