It will no longer serve the Dutch Apple Pie in US
Burger King is reportedly saying goodbye to one of its classic treats.
The restaurant confirmed to FOX Business that it will no longer serve its Dutch Apple Pie in the United States, which stood apart from other fast-food pies since they came in slices instead of pockets.
“Burger King restaurants will no longer be offering the apple pie as part of our dessert menu since our supplier is no longer producing the product," a company spokesperson said.
