What is it?
McDonald's apple pie is a rectangular pastry turnover filled with diced apple in a cinnamon-sugar sauce. It joined the menu in 1968 as a deep-fried pie; the US switched to a baked lattice version in 1992, while some markets, including Hong Kong, still sell it fried.
It is a cheap add-on, tossed into a meal at a drive-thru on a crisp 10°C autumn evening in the American Midwest or eaten on the go in humid 30°C Hong Kong.
The crust is flaky and sugary, the filling molten, sweet and slightly tart. The inside stays scalding long after the pastry feels cool.
