McDonald's apple pie has been ranked the worst among fast food dessert pies due to its inadequate crust and poor filling. The lattice crust offers less quantity, while the filling consists mainly of apple goo rather than actual pieces of fruit. The pie is chewy and soggy, lacking the expected crunch. Historically, McDonald's apple pies were deep-fried with real apples before a recipe change in 1992 transitioned them to baked, affecting the overall quality and experience of the dessert.
The crust was actually the initial downfall of McDonald’s apple pie, with its lattice design leading to less crust, which is usually the best part of a pie.
The inside of McDonald’s apple pie contained more apple goo than apple filling, made with overripe apples that resulted in a tart and chewy dessert.
Once upon a time, McDonald’s apple pies were deep-fried with real diced apples, but they transitioned to baking in 1992, altering their original recipe.
McDonald’s apple pies were introduced in 1968 as the first-ever dessert item, inspired by a successful homemade recipe from a franchise owner.
