McDonald's Apple Slices Complete Information

McDonald's Apple Slices cost $1.35 and carry 15 calories, which makes them the lightest item on the entire McDonald's menu by a wide margin. Fresh cut apples, packed in a bag, and nothing else.

It is a short ingredient list and that is the point. Apple Slices are the only fresh fruit McDonald's sells in the United States, they are standard in every Happy Meal, and at 15 calories they sit beside a 230 calorie Small French Fries as the easiest swap anywhere on the board. Calcium ascorbate keeps the cut faces from browning, which is a blend of calcium and vitamin C rather than anything exotic. For a parent choosing sides in a kids order, or an adult trying to keep a meal under control, this is the item that makes the arithmetic work. Pair them with a Hamburger for the lightest complete order on the menu.
