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.

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🤤

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 ☹️☹️

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!

>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.

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?

Check out the "croustade aux pommes", very close French recipe. Looks good OP!

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).

These have disappeared from the Netherlands too. Now we only get the mini ones once a year for a month.

Arby’s has (or at least 2 weeks ago) fried strawberry and cream pies. Amazing!

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...

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.

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.

Look at that crackly crust.

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

I miss the fried McDonald's apple pies. Luckily in only 20 minutes from the last McDonald's that still sells them.
