McDonald’s is reintroducing its fried apple pie to U.S. menus for America’s 250th birthday, with limited-time availability starting June 23 at most restaurants in the country. Multiple outlets report that the item returns for the first time in more than 30 years, after it was replaced by a baked version in 1992. The revival is presented by the company as part of a broader set of patriotic-themed promotions tied to the semiquincentennial. Fortune also highlights McDonald’s broader apple sourcing and claims the company uses more than 170 million American-grown apples each year in the U.S., noting that this supply supports its seasonal and existing apple products. Other fast-food chains are also marking the anniversary with special offerings, according to reporting that places McDonald’s return within a wider trend. The initiative centers on bringing back the fried format of the pie rather than introducing a new variation, with the company framing the move as a temporary menu event aligned to the national milestone.
