McDonald’s Is Bringing Back Something That’s Been Missing from Menus Since the ’90s

The recipe was developed in the 1960s. A McDonald’s franchise owner in Tennessee, Litton Cochran, wanted to put something special on the menu. His wife, Jo, spent months perfecting the recipe for what became the now-famous Fried Apple Pie. The pie was a smash success and became a regional favorite before expanding to be available at McDonald’s locations nationwide. But in the early ’90s, it was discontinued and wiped off menus everywhere.
