Is McDonald’s Bringing Back Their Strawberries And Crème Pies?

In their most recent, March 20th Instagram post, @snackgator wrote for their 112K followers, “McDonald’s is bringing back their Strawberries & Creme pies for a limited time! It’s a sweet and creamy Strawberry & Creme pie made with strawberries and vanilla flavored creme, baked in a sugar-coated crust.”

One fan commented, “Interesting, this has never left the mcdonalds near me,” as another agreed, “They never left in GA near me.” Others, however, expressed that they missed the treats, and that the McDonald’s restaurants near them did not previously have the pies: “Finallyyyyy, the next best pie they have after the original recipe apple pie.” Someone else added, “Glad to see they’re back!”

Ultimately, as these McDonald’s fans are pointing out, it’s best to keep your eyes peeled during your next trip to your favorite restaurant, as some locations seem to already have the pies while others might be bringing them back after a disappearance.

According to the official McDonald’s website, these pies are “made with strawberries and vanilla flavored crème, baked side by side in a sugar-coated crust.” As one fan wrote on Twitter regarding their apparent return to some cities, “I’m sorry but McDonald’s strawberry and crème pie > the apple pie.” Others seemed to agree, comparing the two pies and deeming the former to be “better” than the latter.
