\"Burger<\/p>\n

There are a few places in the United States where McDonald\u2019s offers fried pies. One of those places is this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I heard a fourth party rumor that this has been the case because the McDonald\u2019s franchisee here refused to sell the baked version, believing that selling the fried apple pie with the molten filling would be appropriate for the islands with an active volcano spewing molten lava.<\/p>\n

Look, I could waste more of your time by speaking glowingly about the McDonald\u2019s Fried Apple Pie until the cows that make the dairy in McFlurrys come home. Instead, I will give you some time back by telling you not to spend any on Burger King\u2019s new Cinnamon Apple Pie, available for a limited time and featuring a golden, crispy crust and warm cinnamon apple filling.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

First off, Burger King\u2019s version pales in comparison to McDonald\u2019s Fried Apple Pie. But since many of you can\u2019t experience that fried fruity goodness, I\u2019m going to compare this Burger King dessert with something similar many of you can order \u2014 Popeyes\u2019 Cinnamon Apple Pie.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

While the Burger King version looks roughly the same size, that\u2019s all it has got going for it. The filling in the BK pie has an astringent taste that brought some weirdness to some bites. If the filling had more flavor and sweetness, it might\u2019ve overcome that, but it was overall a bit mild. <\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

As for the crust, it wasn\u2019t as crispy as the pies from other fast food chains, and the seams at the ends came apart as my bites got closer to them, causing the jelly-like part of the filling to ooze out. If this were a freshly made pie when I started eating it, my fingers would\u2019ve felt the burn.<\/p>\n

\"Popeyes<\/p>\n

So, basically, the Popeyes version is crispier, sweeter, fruitier, sturdier, and cinnamon-ier, and what makes it significantly better is the cinnamon sugar coating. It ups the sweetness and gives the pie a stronger cinnamon kick, which Burger King\u2019s offering really needed.<\/p>\n

While BK\u2019s Cinnamon Apple Pie isn\u2019t horrible, I can\u2019t recommend it when there\u2019s something significantly better. But I guess if you don\u2019t have a Popeyes location near you (or a Whataburger, which also offers something similar), then this is your only option if you want to experience a fried apple pie. But if you do have easy access to the Louisiana Kitchen, don\u2019t waste your time or money on this pie.<\/p>\n
