No, McDonald's Apple Pies taste great because they are made from apples and other quality ingredients. No potatoes are added. The McDonald's Apple Pie contains the following ingredients: water, apples (23 percent), wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil (non-hydrogenated blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil), modified waxy maize starch, salt, dextrose, spices, emulsifier (E472e mono- and diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), flavourings, acidity regulators (E300 ascorbic acid, E330 citric acid) and spice extract (Cassia).

-
McDonald's apologises for this and hopes that you brought it to the attention of the restaurant manager. No nuts of any sort should be found in the Apple Pie. Indeed, no items on the menu contain nuts as an ingredient. Food allergies are a major priority at McDonald's and the company works closely with the Anaphylaxis Campaign. The full nutritional breakdown and allergen information for McDonald’s food can be found at www.mcdonaldsmenu.info. With regard to the soda, the answer is a simple no.

-
McDonald’s Apple Pie is made to a high standard. This includes a generous amount of filling. Unfortunately the filling may leak out as you bite into it but hopefully this will not stop you enjoying them in the future.
