As the leaves begin to turn golden tones and signs to the local pumpkin patch hang on fence posts, another seasonal bounty begins to fill the orchards and farm stands: fresh apples. Is there anything better?
Seasonal apples, with their firm bite and layered sweetness, make for some of the most beautiful desserts ever graced a fall table. The Old Fashioned Apple Cake, for example, pairs Galas with a caramel-like caramel sauce. Apple Spice Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel pack a warm breakfast apple pie punch and are topped with an apple cider glaze. And the stunning apple and cardamom babka crown marries the best of September and October with superb braided bread. Rivaled only by the tomatoes and garden-fresh produce of the Southern summer, fall in the South is one of the most delicious times of the year.
To celebrate the season, North Carolina-based Krispy Kreme has brought back a beloved apple fritter dessert that people look forward to every year: handmade apple fritters.
The sweet, pillow-shaped pastry is full of real apple pieces, like any good donut should be, plus a cinnamon swirl topping. Krispy Kreme then ices its apple fritters “to perfection,” as they say.
Apple Fritters are available now at participating locations across the South and will only be available in the donut case for a limited time, just as our apple season comes and goes. Be sure to pick up this sweet treat individually or in a pack of four. What better way to thank your local teachers than to replace their apple with an apple fritter?
In addition to this seasonal favorite, Krispy Kreme is offering its lineup of mouth-watering fall donuts through October 8, which includes the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Swirl Donut, the Pumpkin Spice Pecan Donut Maple Pumpkin Donut, the Original Pumpkin Spice Glazed Donut and the Pumpkin Spice Cake Donut. You can even buy Pup’kin Spice Dog “Donuts” for your four-legged friend.
Now if you wanted Really If you want to impress your guests around your table this fall, you can try our Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Bourbon Butter Sauce and add apple fritter pieces from the donut chain for the original glaze. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime dessert experience (that only takes 30 minutes of practice) that we think you should try.
