Рецепт McDonald’s Hot Apple Pie – Done Old School
McDonald’s Hot Apple Pie was a favorite of mine when I was growing up. These crispy pies are hard to beat. The crunchy crust and the warm sweet filling inside is a match made in heaven. You can recreate this famous recipe on your own.
I remember growing up with these delicious hot fried apple pies. They were a staple, why in 1992 McDonald’s would discontinue this menu item I have no idea. If you are dining at McDonald’s, you may not be offended if the apple pie was fried rather than baked. The new baked version isn’t crisp, I find it rather doughy, and honestly it isn’t a favorite of mine. I can’t remember when I have ordered an apple pie.
We can recreate this McDonald’s Hot Apple Pie at home. We are going to use 2 medium sized apples. I like to use two different types of apples. I always pick a Granny Smith apple, and then I pick another type of apple, it could be a Honey Crisp, a Red Delicious, Jazz apple, or any other type of your store has available. By using two different types of apples the result will be a more intense apple flavor.
McDonald’s Hot Apple Pie cooking tips
I am also using a package of puff pastry dough. Most stores carry the Pepperidge Farm brand, and I find it works very well. For this recipe, you will use the whole package. You will also need to fry these, I really like use my Grand Pappy Fryer, it heats consistently, and it will store so I can reuse the oil. You can also use a stock pot filled a about 3 inches deep with oil.
Resting the pies on a wire rack to drain instead of paper towels will help keep the pies nice and crisp. If you want to keep these warm before serving I highly recommend in keeping them a warm 200 degree oven.
