There are a number of locations in america the place McDonald’s affords fried pies. A kind of locations is that this rock in the course of the Pacific Ocean. I heard a fourth occasion rumor that this has been the case as a result of the McDonald’s franchisee right here refused to promote the baked model, believing that promoting the fried apple pie with the molten filling could be acceptable for the islands with an lively volcano spewing molten lava.
Look, I might waste extra of your time by talking glowingly in regards to the McDonald’s Fried Apple Pie till the cows that make the dairy in McFlurrys come house. As a substitute, I gives you a while again by telling you to not spend any on Burger King’s new Cinnamon Apple Pie, obtainable for a restricted time and that includes a golden, crispy crust and heat cinnamon apple filling.
First off, Burger King’s model pales compared to McDonald’s Fried Apple Pie. However since a lot of you may’t expertise that fried fruity goodness, I’m going to match this Burger King dessert with one thing related a lot of you may order — Popeyes’ Cinnamon Apple Pie.
Whereas the Burger King model seems to be roughly the identical measurement, that’s all it’s got going for it. The filling within the BK pie has an astringent style that introduced some weirdness to some bites. If the filling had extra taste and sweetness, it’d’ve overcome that, nevertheless it was general a bit gentle.
As for the crust, it wasn’t as crispy because the pies from different quick meals chains, and the seams on the ends got here aside as my bites bought nearer to them, inflicting the jelly-like a part of the filling to ooze out. If this had been a freshly made pie after I began consuming it, my fingers would’ve felt the burn.
So, principally, the Popeyes model is crispier, sweeter, fruitier, sturdier, and cinnamon-ier, and what makes it considerably higher is the cinnamon sugar coating. It ups the sweetness and provides the pie a stronger cinnamon kick, which Burger King’s providing actually wanted.
Whereas BK’s Cinnamon Apple Pie isn’t horrible, I can’t advocate it when there’s one thing considerably higher. However I assume should you don’t have a Popeyes location close to you (or a Whataburger, which additionally affords one thing related), then that is your solely choice if you wish to expertise a fried apple pie. However should you do have easy accessibility to the Louisiana Kitchen, don’t waste your time or cash on this pie.
