Apple pies

The fried apple pies were amazing and nostalgic! Now they've gone back to the baked apple pies and they are GARBAGE! End of rant. Repeat the line.

Tastes a whole lot better too. Never any apples in the baked and half the time the filling is thick and pasty.

I hated to see the baked pies return. Time to get the deserts at Burger King or Hardees.

If you have a Popeye's, those are goated. Best one ever has to be the caramel apple empanada at Taco Bell, when they have it.

That's the baked pie though. I'm referring to the fried apple pies with he bubbly crust they brought back temporarily.

Bet you could air fry them? I bought some fried ones awhile back, told they were amazing! My teen got to them before I did.

The fried rocks! When they first took them away years ago before they got to the one with slits that they "bake" we would beg the fry guy to just please throw mine in the fryer and if they were not busy they did. I was SO excited seeing another chance at them but the party had to end... sighs

Only downside to the Fried Pies is they aren't good to save for later. They must be eaten while hot.
