How to make a McDonald's Apple Pie - Copycat McDonald's Apple Pie

- Hi, this is my version of the classic McDonald’s fried apple pie. You can use pie crust or puff pastry for this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 apple
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Lemon zest (optional)
Vegetable oil
Puff pastry or pie crust
1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
1 Tbs hot water (optional)
Extra sugar (optional)
Method:
Peal and chop the apples into squares. I then let the apples soak in a bowl of water with a Tbs of lemon juice to help keep the color. Drain apples then pour them into a fry pan and add the sugar, spices, and butter. I also added some lemon zest which is total optional. Cook until tender, for around 10 minutes, then let the apple filling cool. If you want the apples to have a gooey syrup, while cooking them, dissolve the cornstarch in a Tbs of hot water then mix the it into the apple mixture. Add a bit more sugar to the filling to form a thick syrup.
An apple pie is 11cm x 5cm so take that into consideration when cutting the shape out of the pastry to pie crust. Lay the pastry on parchment paper then cover one side with apples filling. Brush the edges with water before folding the top half over, then crimp the edges with a fork to firmly seal the filling inside.
Freeze until needed.
Fry the frozen apple pie in oil (350°F) for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, flipping it halfway so both sides are golden brown..
Enjoy!

Thank you very much! - Навчання та стиль
I thought the crust would be the hardest piece to recreate because of all the bubbles on top of crust. but its actually the easiest.
I used pasty and it worked. You can use pie crust ... and get good results too. I froze it to help it hold the shape when frying
off course,he never actually did the dough
Puff pastry makes it look like the real McCoy!
I can't wait to try this with cherry filling. 😋
I will make this tomorrow when I get all my ingredients, today I picked lots of apples from the park
I remember when McDonald's abandoned the deep-fried apple pies for the "improved" baked crap they have today. McDonald's claimed it was due to concerns by the public. I've always questioned how the same health-conscious "public" was concerned about deep-frying an apple pie, yet, completely overlooked deep-frying a potato. I have always maintained that McDonald's simply blamed the public when the true reason was to free up space in their deep fryers for more fries. I had one baked pie since McDonald's switched in the 90's and that was enough for me. It was crap then. And, from what I'm told by friends, it's crap now.
We have always had the original fried one, strange how the US went for the baked. It looks terrible.
Combination of marketing department bs and strong arming franchisees into buying a new equipment from corporate.
I picked up a liking for the Crispy fried Apple pie from McDonald's during my stay in London for three years. Sadly the Apple pie is not available in India.
In my country its always fried
@@sapirgizel9774 I'm so jealous, Sapir. LOL! They were so good when they were deep-fried here in the U.S.
love how simple yet identical this is to the mcdonald's one! some people do too much. can't go wrong with this one :)
Great to hear that 😊 thank you
You hit the nail on the head looks perfect I’m trying it your way! Thank you. 🥰
Looks yummy 😋 thanks you gave me an idea.
You are brilliant! I like the shot angles you use too! I bet that smells amazing when you're cooking it!
Ryan Schneider VLOGS hey Ryan! Thanks man. The aroma of apple and spices 👍. I’m using the natural light near the window and it’s more spacious than my tiny kitchen. Congratulations on 7000 subs and rice 🍚😊
@@bentobuster6995 Bro, your growing so good now! Im happy and proud of you!
Ryan Schneider VLOGS cheers man. I’m enjoying your USA vlogs too 😀 nice to see your slice of life there. The 3 of you.
When you make the filling, I bet it smells so good! 😊 Love the apple pie! ♡ Thank you, copycat!
Tomoko Tomoko yes I love the smell of those spices 👍
Tomoko sensei!
Just went to an orchard today with my grandma and picked a bunch of apples off the trees. Sweet fresh apples so good yummyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sounds good
I came back to your Mickey D’s hot apple pies because IMO yours is the best out there! I am making these right now! Thank you 🥰
Cheers 👍 that’s for the positive feedback. Made my day.
Always my favourite 😋
Looking forward towards making this myself :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I miss the original fearless pie here in America. These baked ones stink. You rock!! Plus, yours looks better. 😂
You are so welcome!
I love it sooooo much
Excellent
I wondered how they got the crust so bubbly, thanks for letting us know it was puff pastry. Jack's family restaurant (fast food) make these kind of pies, they used to make a peach pie which was delicious but now they have one that is an apple pie, a strawberry cheesecake, and a cherry
Hi. Thank you. I want to try it one day with a “pie crust” dough to see what the results are👍 cherry 🍒 sounds good
@@bentobuster6995 peach is my favorite, mellow comfort food and just plain ol yummy 😀
@@p.j.d.8199 I’d love to get that one here… maybe one day.
Thaaaaank you sooo much i was craving it for long time and they don’t sell it in my country right now how bad , i will try it 🍎🖤
They have a apple and custard one now here in Japan limited time only 👍 it’s good. Apple one side custard in the other.
Wow.. Thanks 👍👍
They stopped selling these in Spain several years ago. Oh God, how I miss them! ToT
Hi In Japan it’s still sold. They have the Apple then do things like a potato bacon one occasionally. I’ve always had this type since my fist one aa a kid in the mid 70s in New Zealand when the fist McDonald’s in NZ Opened near my house. Good memories 👍
Also here in denmark... What can we do???
@@skipperbendt6136 you don’t have the fried types?
@@bentobuster6995 Here in Denmark McD dont have the Apple pie on the meny for many years 😪😪
@@skipperbendt6136 oh, that's too bad. i have always had it in Japan and NZ. I haven't tried the baked type ever.
Well, you picked a perfect recipe to gather viewers !! When McD changed to the baked pie, I was devastated 😩and actually googled and there was a site that told you where you could still find them, as some McD's still did it. But now there are fewer or maybe even none. But You have given us the gift !! Thank You ! A very cool and interesting tutorial. Love your set up to fry as well. Nice view !
Thank you! I’m in Tokyo. They are still on the standard menu here. Also they have seasonal ones during the year too. Beef stew , potato bacon, custard, chocolate etc. i did this with pastry but want to try this with a pie crust too. I still remember my first McDonald’s apple pie in the mid 70s in NZ.
@@bentobuster6995 Thank You ! I saw your home page and saw NZ, what a special country !! I saw your Patreon link to Paypal. They have a giving sign up that doesn't charge a fee to receive money, not sure if you know. I'd like to put that link here, but I am asking first . I would do it, so it's not really coming from you.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 hi I’m not really well versed with the patreon link. I’m a bit clueless about it. I know more about PayPal though. That I can understand.
My favourite apple pie 😍
They were so good, I can get them anymore
Yummy yummy looks delicious ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. They sell the real ones 5 minutes walk away. But I like to challenge things.
Wow 🤩
Oh wow, never thought they would be that easy to duplicate!! I was shocked (in a great way) a few years ago in Maui when I realized the McDonald’s there still serve them, brought back my childhood!! Unfortunately it’s a bit far to go for a snack!! Lol. Thanks for duplicating them, can’t wait to try your version!! Looks dead on…. Probably healthier also!! 💪👍
I love to try it will a pie crust pastry too. In Japan the original one is always available. There’s a potato bacon seasonal one too at the moment.
Btw I miss Hawaii. Haven’t been in years but been 10 times. Absolutely Love it there.
@@bentobuster6995 I saw something about that online the other day, how is it? 🤔
I love it so much 😋😋😋😋😋😋
How long did you freeze it?❤️
Hi Arran. Now that's a tasty bur.... Apple pie. Nice and greasy, fat is flavour! Here in Holland we have the appelbeignet (apple beignet). It's also deep-fried puff pastry with apple, almond paste and cinnamon in it. It's traditionally eaten on new years eve.
Alien Space Ghost sounds delicious. I’m really wanting to try a real beignet. I just see it on the internet. Your version with apples almonds cinnamon sounds great.
Yes it's my favourite 😊 on new years eve.
Making it tomorrow. Thank uuuu
😊👍 btw If you want to thicken the syrup, add a touch of cornstarch or arrowroot to the apples and sugar
@@bentobuster6995 nice one hun thanks for the tip 👏👏🤞
Its my favorate
Hi 👋 I did it until they were soft and not too watery. If u add some more sugar and a touch of corn starch u can get that yummy gooey thick sauce going. Let it all cool then fill the pastry. I used pastry but i net pie crust would be awesome
Definitely going to make these soon. I remember the first time I had one of the "new" baked ones and thought wtf is this garbage. Much better fried :). If I'm going to McDonald's I don't care about it being better for me haha
I thought they were always fried around the world, then I saw the baked ones in the US recently, I was surprised, Fried is a classic!
@@bentobuster6995 in the US, Southerners were particularly irritated, we like fried food !!
Love the view
Thank you
Nice
Could you please give the recipe to make the puff pastry?
How long did you freeze it?
Great video! What kind of oil did you fry in?
hi thanks just regular canola oil.
2 questions
can u bake them in oven. instead? and bow do they turn out compared to deep frying?
also salted or unsalted butter?
Yeah I assume you can oven bake them. I imagine the pastry will be fluffy. I just used non salted butter.
Do have a video in making the dough?
Could you post the recipe for its pastry please. Thanks for this vid. 💓
You can just buy puff pastry.
It actually looks better than the mcdonalds one itself
How exactly is the pastry pie crust made?
Also, thanks for the video, came from eric surf
A name that was not taken pie crusts are made from usually flour, butter, ice water and shortening
You can buy puff pastry sheets
Very nice strainer plate to put them onto.
Hi I got it from “Mugi”
Or a recipe for a pie crust? Thanks
Makeing some in New Zealand
Hi Arran--- just made my filling and cut the pastry... will go to freezer next. I was thinking of air frying--- have you ever tried it? Figure I will spray with a little canola. Basically don't want to heat up the kitchen with frying. Also easier clean up. I was just wondering if you had a tip n this??
I think in an air fryer would work. I haven’t tried It myself but people do fry all sorts of things in an air fryer.
@@bentobuster6995 I will let you know--- they are so beautiful... I will try one in the air fryer--- if not great we'll do the real frying. Thanks!!
@@mcgoverncandace good luck!
@@bentobuster6995 My husband just tried the first pie--- Success!! He love it... and you should know that he ate a McDonald Apple Pie every day for at least 5 years when he was in college back in the 70's. So he could be considered to be a real connoisseur!! Great recipe THANKS!
@@mcgoverncandace awesome. I had my first one back in 1977 I think when I was 5 in NZ. McDonald’s Japan periodically makes all sorts of fried versions, potato bacon, custard, berries etc. I’ve never tried the American baked ones.
Dam that look's good!!
Thanks cool
did you freeze them solid?? or just a bit for them to firm up? thanks
You can but I just froze it for 20 min to firm the pastry then I fried it. If u fry it straight away the pastry might open or the shape might bend
YUM
Excellent video...
Thanks Judi
Here is Japan they released a potato and bacon one. Kind of like a white stew filling.
Oooohhhh wauwieee, thanks so much for your video. I love their apple pie. May I ask, what is allspice? What brand? I live in The Netherlands / Europe. Thanks in advance 💃
It’s a spice ( dried berry) it's said to taste like a combination of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Your supermarket should carry it. Its taste is potent so just a tiny bit is needed. It’s been in Europe since 17 century. I think Jamaican Jerk Chicken uses a tonne of all spice. But sub with cloves cinnamon nutmeg combo.
@@bentobuster6995 aaahhh ok thank you. I will search for it and try your recipe. Thanks again...👍🏻👍🏻
How many can u make with this recipe
Love me some apple pie.
Is it common to cook on the balcony? No kitchens in Japan houses?
good question. My kitchen is a japanese kitchen so tiny. Bad lighting for youtube so I decided natural light is bretter, plus the view is a bit more alive. My building has a rule...dont cook out side...but I seem to ignore this...he he
Arran so people eat out a lot, or order takeout?
I need to do a little extra shopping tonight. LOL! I need these. Thank you!
Audra G. I’d like to try it with a pie 🥧 crust deep fried to see the results
Looks way better than the McDonalds version. Do you think they would turn out okay in an air frier? I’m always looking for things my son can make himself without burning the house down 🤣
I think they’d work in an air fryer. Maybe brush on some egg wash or some milk to give it a nice color. If might work just fine.
Hey Arran did u use the pie crust or the puff pastry in this video?
Jennifer Isley puff pastry, as no pie crust on hand. The pie crust would turn out good i reckon. I also froze it for an hour or so so it would hold its shape better
@@bentobuster6995 thank u gonna make this weekend
Jennifer Isley have fun doing it
The filling is very easy, what nobody knows is the secret of the dough!
You are right 👍
The secret is buy puff pastry. It's not work it making it yourself.
Looks easy. I will try 😊
Show us how to make the fried pumpkin pie!
good video do they taste a lot like the original?
Yes if you want it more gooey inside add more sugar
@@bentobuster6995 thank you
@@mokbeatz actually doing a McDonald’s review tomorrow with Apple 🍎 pie again
@@bentobuster6995 great ill check it out
Gracias por compartir. Felicidades.
Made for my son and suddenly I am the best.
Great to hear ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What heat did you cook the Apple at. When making the filling
I play it by eye, but around 160-180 if it’s too hot I reduce the temp
If it’s too low a temp the pastry might split open.
Insta-subscribe due to this video! Now, to the store (might try this with cherry pie filling too)
Thank you. Here in Japan they have a potato and bacon stew one on the menu this month. A cherry 🍒 one would be awesome.
How long it can be save in freezer?thx
A long time. Just treat it like Any other frozen food. As long as it isn’t bashed or damaged in the freezer it’s ok
Nice view
thanks 16th floor
Damn i was hoping i could bake these
You can try. Also perhaps US ones are baked maybe with pie crust Pastry? I’m not sure.
yummy apple pies so much cheaper to make them at home.
OmG just made these. Next time I'm doing much more that two.. I need a bigger freezer
Nice to hear 👍
When do you add the apple cider vinegar?
Oh… thanks. Add it when cooking in the frypan. You can also add a touch more sugar and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of cornflour to make it more syrupy.
Look up " mock puff pastry " it's perfect for this recipe 🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 😊
I shat myself when he casually dropped the apple pie into the oil
Ha ha sorry about that. The old school way
How we can make Puff pastry. ?
You buy it. It’s too troublesome to make
How many apple pies can you make in the recipe you provided?
1 Apple will make two pies.
How to do the fillingg
Lolita Llentada it says in the video
Hahahaha 😂🤣😅 u kiddin rightO???
Measurements?
I'm here trying to win a snack pack. You made some amazing Wagyu smash burgers. Looked delicious. I'd love to try that bread too
Thank you 😋 its a great loaf, its called shokupan or maybe Milk Bread in English
Is nutmeg optional??
Yes, I think it needs the cinnamon but u can skip the nutmeg.
Shall we fry it immediately after taking it out of the freezer?? Please help......
Yes 👍 the firmer it is the better it holds together. So fry it straight out of the freezer. Keep an eye on it and when golden brown it’s done. It’s hot inside so let it cool down a bit before eating.
@@bentobuster6995 ok.... Thank you..... Thanks a lot...... But one more thing..... If it's fried immediately after being taken out of the freezer and dropped in the hot oil won't it react?
Good luck. Even semi frozen is ok.
@@bentobuster6995 ok...... Thank you......
@@rumikachatterjee971 yeap! That grease gonna pop pop pop!!! Beed carefulled 👌
You can make these in the sausage maker less fat and are yummy.
I think it would fit in perfectly 👍
how much does this recipe make?
With 1 Apple you are looking at making 2
What pastry is he using? Puff pastry?
I used puff, but you could use pie crust pastry too.
Those are some of my favorite pies I wish they still had them I go to Taco Bell now and buy Apple empanadas or at least I did when I was in the United States we don't have a Taco Bell here
It’s the only type we get in Japan. But they have extra seasonal versions too. Bacon potato , custard, red bean 🫘 with Mochi etc.
Is this the macdaonald recipe
Can we replace the pie crust with biscuit crust 😭
Of course 👍
I tried puff pastry it did not work.It seems it differs from 1 place to another regarding the type of puff pastry? if you can make the puff pastry from scratch and do the video it will be more genuin.
OMGoodness!!!!! I heard McDonalds still made the original version apple pie but only in certain areas like Hawaii???? I'm in Philadelphia Pa. We haven't seen the real McDonalds apple pie in years & years. Not that the baked version is bad, it's just no competition for the original.
Yep in Japan NZ etc it’s never changed since the 70s. Actually by chance today in Japan they released a beef stew pie version.
allspice or mixed spice? Allspice is hot pepper
Mixed spice i d say :)
allspice is all da spices in ur cabinet lol 😂🤣😅 (just kiddin)
What type of apple was it?
We can only get Japanese apples and NZ apples in Japan so it was a Japanese red apple. I would use a Granny Smith if I could get it though.
The oil should be hotter when placing it
LoL McDonald’s apple pie is lit im gonna do that too and sell it to Burger King
What is call puf pasty ?
Puff pastry. It’s used for making pies etc.
Mine don’t have the bubbles mine are just all brown
I used Pampas pastry. It’s an Australian brand.
I HATE the baked apple pie. 🖕”health nuts”. I’m glad I found this. I’m gonna try it.
At least rally’s/checker’s has a fried one albeit with cinnamon on the crust.
Thanks. You can u pastry or pie crust
With the gloves, music and all, this looks like a heist movie with a professional forger... Was it intentional? ☺️
that's cool, I liked the early intro kind of pink panther cartoonish, actually, my hands get scratched from time to time from my pet lizards so the gloves hide that and look a bit better
Do you have to freeze? Can't you just fry it immediately?
I have tried both ways and it worked. One time only The pastry was too soft then the seal opened. So maybe 10 minutes in the freezer to make sure it’s sealed.
Those are in fact better than McDonald's because they don't deep fry them anymore
日本で作られたの？
What happened to the oven
McDonald’s NZ Aussie Japan fry them
1:02
Just wanted to write thank you. I love them, but almost £2 for 1 small pie is way too much. I have watched many videos but your seemed to be the most similar to the original. I tried and they are almost same. So thanks :)
That’s great. Thank you! Here in Japan they always have this one but also make seasonal ones. Currently there’s a butterscotch one, last month was beef stew. The apple pie is also in the breakfast menu as a side item. So available all day.
Missing the gooeyness of the original pie
It you read the description box?
It he versioned. Add a dropped or 2 of corn syrup & it will beed more gooey 🤫
Love the recipe.
The music is kind of annoying though😉
Noted. But Gotta pump you up while you make it
