How To Order An Apple Pie McFlurry At McDonald's

McDonald's fans know there's nothing like a good menu hack at the Golden Arches, and the Apple Pie McFlurry has got to be one of the best-kept sort-of secrets in the bunch. Sure, McFlurries are popular on their own, but the addition of a slice of apple pie takes it to another level. 

So, what does it really take to snag this dessert that's as satisfying as it is indulgent? Start by ordering a McFlurry and a classic McDonald's apple pie. Then, simply request that your pie gets blended into your McFlurry. With McDonald's locations practically everywhere you look — there are almost certainly more in the world than you may think — there's no shortage of opportunities to give this one a try.

While this fusion isn't on the main menu, it's one of those "secret" items that devotees of the chain have championed for years. It's also a fun reminder that McDonald's classics don't have to stay the same forever — sometimes a little imagination is all it takes to make something familiar feel new.

While some staff will be happy to blend the two menu items together, others may prefer you mix it in yourself, especially as not all McDonald's staff are aware of this hack or you may be ordering during a rush. Either way, the resulting combo — warm apple pie pieces, creamy soft serve, and maybe a dash of caramel — is worth the extra step even if you undertake it yourself.

It's a simple yet clever way to transform two original items into something even better, whether you're in the mood to switch things up or just after a new take on tradition. If you're lucky, you might even get it in McDonald's revamped McFlurry cup.

The Apple Pie McFlurry is proof that a little creativity goes a long way with McDonald's menu items. So, next time you're craving something sweet, grab a McFlurry, add your own twist, and turn it into something even better.
