$1.39 was the only Apple Slices price recorded, at 15 calories per labelled serving.
Every McDonald's Apple Slices price recorded in August 2026 came back at $1.39. Five readings, one figure, no spread at all, which nothing else in this section managed. The bag is put at 15 calories per labelled serving, in McDonald's own wording. Apple Slices is the only item in Fries & Sides the company presents as the lighter choice, and the only one it names inside the Happy Meal.

If something goes wrong
The price range column is blank on this row
- Cause
- Nothing to put in it. All five readings returned $1.39, so there is no spread to report and a range would imply variation the check did not find.
- Fix
- Read the blank as agreement rather than as missing work. It is the only row in Fries & Sides with no band at all.
Total agreement on a price looks suspicious
- Cause
- Independent boards at thousands of franchised restaurants do not normally land on the same cent, so identical figures can mean one number travelling rather than several confirming.
- Fix
- Treat $1.39 as a strong indication and confirm it in the McDonald's app, exactly as with any row that does carry a band.
The calorie figure comes with a qualifier
- Cause
- The company states 15 calories per labelled serving, which is wording about a bag rather than about an apple, and the bag size is what the figure attaches to.
- Fix
- Quote it the way the company does. Anything more precise would be an invention, and the panel below calories could not be read here either.
The lightest item in the section, and the flattest price on the page
Apple Slices do a job no other item in Fries & Sides is asked to do. Three of the four rows here are fried potato at increasing sizes. This one is fruit in a bag, and McDonald's positions it as the alternative rather than as another side.
What's in it
Sliced apple. McDonald's states 15 calories per labelled serving, and the qualifier belongs in the sentence, because the figure describes the bag a restaurant hands over rather than a piece of fruit in the abstract. Against the rest of the section that number is barely visible: the next lowest is 230 for a small fries, then 320, then 480. Macros and allergens could not be read here, as on every product page in this section, because a browser script draws that table in after the page loads.
The Happy Meal is where this bag earns its place on the menu. Its box is described as coming with kids fries, apple slices, a choice of beverage and a toy, and the published Happy Meal totals are built on exactly that: 475 calories for the Hamburger build, 395 for the four-piece Chicken McNuggets build, each counted with kids fries, a 1% Low Fat Milk Jug and these apples. Where a restaurant will take the fries out, the published figures say what the trade is worth: 110 calories for the kids portion against 15 for the apples.
On price this is the steadiest row in the section by a wide margin. Five readings of published US prices in August 2026 all returned $1.39, so the range column is empty and the typical figure is simply the figure. Everything else here moved: the small fries spread 111% and the large refused to settle on a middle at all. Whether that flatness is genuine agreement between thousands of independently priced boards or one number circulating widely cannot be settled from outside.
Is it worth it
Not as food value. $1.39 for 15 calories is the worst rate on the entire section by an enormous margin, and anybody buying calories per dollar should be at the other end of the table.
As a swap, it is the strongest case on the page. It is the only item here under 200 calories, the only one the company frames as the lighter option, and the cheapest thing recorded anywhere in Fries & Sides. For a child's box, or for somebody who wants the meal without the fries, there is no other choice in this section to make.
One structural point applies to the price and not the calories. About 95% of US restaurants under the brand are franchised, a share stated in McDonald's Form 10-K, and each operator prices the board, so even a row with no recorded spread can move locally. The McDonald's app, set to a restaurant, is where the binding number lives.

Questions people ask
How much are Apple Slices at McDonald's?
$1.39 in every US listing checked in August 2026. Five readings returned the same figure, which is why this row has no price range beside it.
How many calories are in McDonald's Apple Slices?
15 per labelled serving, in the company's own wording. That makes them the lowest calorie item in Fries & Sides by a distance, with a small fries next at 230.
Do Apple Slices come in a Happy Meal?
Yes. The company names them in its own Happy Meal description alongside kids fries, a drink and a toy, and the published totals count them: 475 calories for the Hamburger build, 395 for the four-piece nuggets build.
Are Apple Slices the healthiest thing on the McDonald's menu?
On calories they are the lightest item in this section at 15, and among the lightest anywhere on the US menu. Macros could not be read from the product page, so a fuller comparison is not available.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. The 15-calorie figure is the company's; $1.39 was recorded from published US listings in August 2026 and dated under the table. Almost no US menu price is published by the company itself.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
No. Around 95% of US restaurants under the brand are franchised and set their own prices, so even a row that showed no spread at all could differ locally. The McDonald's app, with a restaurant selected, gives that restaurant's price.
