Apple Slices

What is it?

Pre-sliced apple pieces come sealed in a small bag, usually as a side in a Happy Meal, though you can order them on their own. They're plain fruit, with the skin left on and the core removed, and they're treated to slow browning so the slices stay pale. Compared with the hot sides in McDonald's range, this one skips cooking altogether and leans on freshness instead. It's a straightforward, no-added-sugar option in a menu dominated by fried and processed items. Slices are cut thin enough for small hands, which makes sense given their Happy Meal pairing. Whether adults order them voluntarily is another question, but they're genuinely crisp and fresh when the stock turns over quickly.
