Apple Pie Ice Creams

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

McDonald's is Debuting a New Apple Pie Mcflurry This Fall

— August 31, 2018 — Lifestyle
With fall almost upon us, McDonald's is giving its dessert menu an autumnal makeover with the debut of the Apple Pie McFlurry. In short, the new dessert is like a warm slice of pie combined with creamy McDonald's soft serve.

The new Apple Pie McFlurry is a limited-edition treat available from McDonald's Australia. The new item combines vanilla soft serve with bits of McDonald's Apple Pies and a warm caramel sauce. The new item was actually inspired by customers themselves after Uber Eats Australia noticed that one in four McDonald's Apple Pies are purchased with a Sundae. As Uber Eats explains on its website, "We've teamed up with McDonald's to give you the first taste of two iconic desserts, combined by popular demand."

With so much food delivery data available, restaurants are starting to pick up on and react to unique dining habits.
