Is TikTok DIY McDonald's Apple Pie Any Good?

[@emmymade]

It's best to allow your pies to cool a few minutes before eating because "Contents hot!". What's your favorite pie?

[@emmymade]

Strawberry rhubarb!🙋🏻‍♀️

[@abc-eb4zh]

Lemon meringue pie 🍋

[@minacd]

Peach and blueberry cobbler (I know it's not a pied, but still!)

Derby or pecan

As a retired teacher with over 35 yrs experience and Mom of 2 young adults, I have checked out their products previously and am only sad that these weren't available when I could have used them! The kits look amazing! They're designed to encourage independent thinking and creativity while building upon science and math skills! I would recommend to anyone who can afford them, would make great Christmas gifts I bet!

[@emmymade]

I got my kids the Tinker Crate series last Christmas and they had a lot of fun with them! So glad KiwiCo included The Yummy Crate it's perfect for those that are interested in eating their projects. 😋

[@Amsayy]

You're food videos over the last who knows how many years have caused me to really broaden my pallet. Your food descriptions on taste, texture, mouth feel, everything, really helped my get over my fear of strange food. I got an appreciation for looking for each component as opposed to being overwhelmed by too many flavours. Even going into the science of how food just works. I've gained such a better understanding for food. Without your videos, I honestly think I'd still be eating chicken nuggets every day 😂 now I'm far more adventurous with my food and my cooking. I eat sea food now, 18 year old me would never.

[@jennytran1004]

[@AoifeNic_an_t-Saoir]

Awwww! As someone who has always had an adventurous palate and could never understand “picky eaters” , thank you for posting this. I had always assumed picky eaters were just being difficult.

McDonald's apple pies were deep fried, and served at the temperature of the surface of Mercury. Even after sitting for an hour, they were still scalding hot. I'll try yours.

[@hannahmore9118]

My mom worked, so we kids would often 'prep' dinner when she would call letting us know she was leaving work. We would take the all day marinating steak out of the frig. Cut up vegetables, start a pot of rice or potatoes, start the bbq coals, etc. We all knew how to make bread from scratch, make salads, cook meat and fish so it is edible. My grandmother taught cooking, way back in the early 1920's. I am a fortunate soul. Thanks mom. ♡

[@kevin04230]

Growing up with emmy has gotta be one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. She taught me about science and food and made it so interesting. Her videos will never not be entertaining. Thanks emmy🙂

i think the kiwico ad was amazing. i’d even order it for myself as an adult because i’m someone that has a lot of sensory issues & can be easily overwhelmed by long lists of ingredients or vague cooking instructions. great work emmy!

[@roberthanlen6036]

Interesting that you mentioned baking soda lowering the PH for pretzels and thereby allowing better browning - the same technique was used for roasting potatoes on SortedFood the other day.

[@birgittabirgersdatter8082]

Baking soda would raise the pH.

[@helenedesmarais8697]

You can use it very sparingly on thin cuts of meat ( pork chops) to speed the browning without overcooking then.

[@ChristinaVVM]

I watched that video and thought the same thing!

[@um...nevermind8918]

Oh my goodness, I had the fried McDonald's apple pie for the first time while in Seoul. I was hooked! The crust was thin, delicate and bubbly with that perfect crunch. The filling perfectly sweet but not over whelming. Dipped in icecream...heaven! The way you describe this, I can't wait to make it as it seems the flavors may come close. Thank you, Emmy!

[@allieren]

I can see all kinds of applications for this-I love making pies, but as a single person I don’t love having a whole pie lying around. I never thought of using puff pastry to make hand pies with my regular fillings!

[@dyfustifications]

Can we just admire that crunch, please? THE CRUNCH!

[@lynnayamoon]

moved to the UK back in 2015, and was thrilled to find that they still deep fry them here! I may miss Tacos, but at least i get that little happy!

[@davem.2191]

Looks good, but I still prefer McDonalds old "fried" apple pies. They were hot and crispy, and I crave that.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

There is wheat/gluten free puff pastry by GeeFree. I’ve heard people had good results from it. I’m gluten free myself but GeeFree changed the recipe and put dairy in it(which I also have a allergy too besides gluten/wheat). I’ll have to find a decent recipe myself. I’m sure it will come out delicious! Thanks for looking out for your relatives that have celiac!!

Back in the day I used to get an apple pie every time I went to McD’s they were so delicious. However, when they changed from deep fried to baked, I bought one and it was the last apple pie I ever had from them. Maybe both are good in their own way, but comparing them to each other, the original is the best and the new one tastes like disappointment.

[@alphabetsoup6681]

[@clairesilverspar]

The pies here in the UK are still fried. They are always scalding hot and have a super thick filling, like applesauce with tiny pieces of apple. The little bubbles on the outside of the pastry make them super crispy!

[@ericmgarrison]

The fried apple pies were to live for! I have driven through NC and discovered some local burger spots that still do fried apple pies (and they will shake them in cinnamon sugar if you ask nicely)! This is another great recipe, Ms. Emmy. And I also enjoyed learning about the KiwiCo products.

[@thermalreboot]

The McDonalds Apple Pie that I miss is the fried pie from the 70's and 80's, it was soooo much better than the baked pie.

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

“Caution : Contents may be hot!!! “ It would be wonderful with a pumpkin cream cheese filling. Emmy is my life blood. I still want to see you make hamburger helper sushi or lunchables waffles.

When McD stopped making the fried and used the baked ones, it upset people. So, someone made a website listing all the McDonalds that DID still sell the fried ones !!! Because some stores were still selling them, but it was hit or miss trying to find them. The website was cool, imagine being so in love with the pies that you make a website. YAY OH, they also stopped the cherry version. dang

I like adding a little drizzle of caramel over the apple filling before sealing up the puff pastry and to be extra, after cooling a few minutes, brush the pastry with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. It's sort of like Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanada, except it tastes 100 times better.

McDonalds use to have Fried Apple Pies !!! They were discontinued for the new Baked Apple Pies. Main reason for the change was due to profit loss due to some pies always broke during frying or were damaged during delivery. The baked apple pies didnt have the issue of breaking due to use of oven instead of a fryer. We also had cherry, pumpkin, chocolate, blueberry, strawberry and other flavors as well for the fried pies.

McD's apple pies were deep fried mostly because it was fast. 6 minutes to cook that way, from fozen. They came frozen in a box marked "turnovers", and had cinnamon on top. Deep frying knocked off that cinnammon and when you bit into one crumbs would fly all over the place. No doubt baking takes longer, but you get to keep that extra cinnamon. I definitely prefer the baked version.
