The donuts are made with flour, light brown sugar, autumnal spices, egg, butter and [apple cider juice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-juicerys-spiced-apple-cider) to give the dough a dense, moist and rich texture. The donuts are baked in a cake pan in the oven and then can be topped however you'd like depending on how indulgent you want to be. The dough is a rich brown color thanks to the cider and filled with cinnamon flavor. The donuts can be enjoyed as-is, or topped with a brown butter glaze or even homemade cream cheese icing with decorations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Baked Donut Recipes:** Opportunity for innovation in creating more flavor and nutrition options for baked donuts. - **Healthy Desserts:** Opportunity for innovation in creating more nutritious dessert alternatives. - **Apple Cider Flavors:** Opportunity for innovation in incorporating apple cider flavor into various food and beverage products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery and Pastry Shops:** Opportunity for innovation in offering healthier donut alternatives for consumers. - **Health Food and Nutrition Stores:** Opportunity for innovation in producing and supplying healthier donut options for health-conscious consumers. - **Beverage Production Companies:** Opportunity for innovation in creating apple cider flavored beverages to cater to consumers' taste preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autumnal Donut Holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-flavored-donut-holes.md) - [Seasonal Snacking-Friendly Donut Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cider-donut-holes.md) - [Cider Donut Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cider-donut-ice-cream.md) - [Free-From Dessert Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-cake-donut.md) - [Autumnal Cheesecake-Filled Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-pecan-cheesecake-doughnut.md) - [Spiced Apple Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-apple-series.md) - [Decadent Free-From Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-donuts.md) - [Limited-Time Autumnal Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-assortment.md) - [Better-for-You Blueberry Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinny-witch-donut.md)
