Long before menu items came and went with changing trends, the crispy, deep-fried dessert earned a loyal following that lasted for decades. While many customers have spent years hoping for its return, McDonald’s is now giving longtime fans a reason to celebrate as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
The announcement has sparked excitement among customers who remember the original pie and never believed the baked replacement measured up.
