when did mcdonalds start baking their apple pies
Fried pie Fast food versions have gained popularity more recently. McDonald's apple pies were introduced on the menu in 1968, but in 1992 they were phased out in favor of a baked pie (claimed to be healthier) in the United States.[2][3] There are some McDonald's restaurants throughout the US and world which still offer the fried pies, including all McDonald's restaurants in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Russia. Flavors include cherry and apple (US mainland), taro (Hawaii), and green bean or red bean (China). The Burger King chain also offers fried pies on its menu, in apple and "wild berry" flavors. Whataburger and Popeyes also offer fried pies.[citation needed]
