McDonald's Changes Apple Pie Recipe, Sparking Controversy

A controversial change to a signature McDonald’s recipe has fans of the restaurant chain talking. 

The change to the recipe of the chain’s iconic apple pies was announced by the company this week. McDonald’s removed cinnamon from the crust of their pies, according to a press release, and also added cinnamon into the pie’s filling instead.

Needless to say, plenty of customers had reactions to the new recipe:

The company says it changed the recipe so that the pies would be made with fewer ingredients, and to capture more of the “homemade” flavor of an apple pie.
