When it comes to fast food desserts, it’s hard to compete with the McDonald’s Apple Pie. Although they have changed the formula a bit over the years, it remains a classic. It’s one of those things you might make a drive thru run to get when a craving hits.
Now you can make your own version with this Copycat McDonalds Apple Pie Recipe. The nice thing about it is that you can have them ready at any time, make a big batch for not a lot of money, and know exactly what you are putting in them. The recipe below will make 9 pies.
While you could use any apples to make these pies, we recommend Granny Smith apples. Because they are a bit tart, it keeps them from getting too sweet when baked into the pie. They also keep their shape while baking and don’t turn into mush.
