McDonald’s is bringing back a dessert that nostalgic customers have been asking to see again for decades.<\/p>\n

The fast-food chain announced<\/a> that its fried apple pie will return to participating restaurants nationwide on June 23 for a limited time as part of celebrations surrounding America’s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n

The dessert features apple filling made with American-grown apples wrapped inside a fried, flaky crust.<\/p>\n

The pie first appeared on McDonald’s menu in 1968 after Tennessee franchise owner Litton Cochran developed the recipe. It remained a staple for decades<\/a> before most U.S. restaurants switched to a baked version in 1992 amid growing concerns about fat and cholesterol consumption, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The fried pie never completely vanished, remaining available in Hawaii<\/a> and select international markets even after most U.S. restaurants transitioned to the baked version.<\/p>\n

“There are certain things that just take you back \u2014 and the Fried Apple Pie is one of them,” Eric Cochran, a McDonald’s owner\/operator and grandson of Litton Cochran, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s something that people love and remember from growing up.”<\/p>\n

To mark the dessert’s return, McDonald’s plans to unveil a 35-foot fried apple pie display along Route 66 in Joliet, Illinois<\/a>, near the company’s Chicago-area headquarters.<\/p>\n

The oversized pie will remain on display through July 4.<\/p>\n

The announcement quickly generated excitement online, particularly among customers who remember the fried pies<\/a> from years past.<\/p>\n

“This is amazing news! But I wish it wasn\u2019t just for two weeks!” one Reddit user wrote.<\/p>\n

Others expressed hope that the limited-time offering could eventually become permanent.<\/p>\n

“I see this as the beginning of a re-introduction,” another commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

Several users pointed out that fried versions of the pie<\/a> never completely disappeared.<\/p>\n

“For some reason they still have them in Hawaii,” one commenter wrote. “It\u2019s just the rest of the country that has been denied the good pies.”<\/p>\n

Others debated whether the returning pie would match the version they remembered from decades ago.<\/p>\n

“Unless they’re frying it in beef tallow again, they’re not serving THE fried apple pie,” one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n
