Pie Poppers Complete Information

KFC Pie Poppers cost $2.49 and carry 340-850 cal. Small filled pastries served several to a portion, sold in cherry and apple depending on what a restaurant is running. They sit between the cookie and the cake on both size and price, and they are the only hot dessert KFC sells.

They also turn up in KFC's promotions more often than anything else on the dessert list. At the time of writing there is a live offer putting a four-piece portion at a dollar, which is on the deals page with its code. That pattern repeats, so it is worth checking before paying the menu price. They are meant to be shared, and a portion between two people is about right after a full meal.

Pepsi is carried by 21 of the restaurants we sampled, which makes it the safest thing to add.

KFC Pie Poppers Recipe

Small filled pastries live or die on one thing: how much moisture the filling carries when it goes in. A cooked, thickened, cooled filling gives you crisp pastry. A raw fruit filling gives you a leak and a soggy base.

Tips

  • Cold filling, always. This is the entire recipe in three words.
  • Underfill. A teaspoon feels mean and is correct; a tablespoon bursts.
  • Fork-seal the whole rim. One unsealed inch ruins a batch of oil.

Variations

  • Apple with cinnamon, which is the other flavour KFC runs.
  • Bake at 400F for 18 minutes instead of frying for a lighter version.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon to the apple filling to stop it tasting flat.

Serve it with

  • Hot, within a few minutes, which is when they are worth eating.
  • Four between two people after a full meal.
  • A home batch costs less than one portion at $2.49.

A home version of Pie Poppers. It is our own recipe, not KFC's, and the Original Recipe blend stays a trade secret.
