QSR establishments are beginning to offer more artisanal goods in order to satisfy shifting consumer preferences for tastes and flavors that are more rustic, which is what's at play with the new McDonald's Blueberry & Creme Pie. Available only for a limited time at select locations, the pie is a baked turnover that has been filled with a layer of blueberry and a vanilla-flavored cream within. The crust has been topped with coarse sugar in order to make it taste like a slice of homemade pie with every bite.
The McDonald's Blueberry & Creme Pie is available only for the summer and can be purchased individually or in pairs to satisfy patrons with a sweet tooth.
