Both apple pie and donuts are two classic American desserts enjoyed by people of all ages. Now the two tasty treats have come together in the form of a carefully decorated pastry. The Big Apple Pie Donut from Krispy Kreme Australia consists of a yeast shell stuffed with a sweet apple pie filling. However, unlike other Krispy Kreme creations, this new donut features a decorative touch inspired by its namesake. This special topper consists of a lattice crust that is handmade from finely crushed cookie crumbs and white chocolate. The decorative apple pie donut is part of the [American Classics line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stars-stripes-sweetness-collection), which also features US-inspired flavors such as Coconut Cream Pie, Campfire S'mores and Peanut Butter Jelly Time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Realistic Pie-shaped Donuts:** Opportunity for bakeries to create innovative and visually appealing pastry designs that mimic classic desserts. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for bakeries to create unique and nostalgic dessert-inspired donuts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Pie-Inspired Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pieinspired-doughnuts.md) - [Pie-Inspired Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-pies-doughnut-collection.md) - [Autumnal Cheesecake-Filled Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-pecan-cheesecake-doughnut.md) - [Oversized Pizzeria Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-donuts.md) - [Limited-Time Autumnal Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-assortment.md) - [Delectable Flavored Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fan-favs.md) - [Thanksgiving Dinner-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-thanksgiving-doughnuts.md) - [Patriotic Americana Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-stars-and-stripes-dozen.md) - [Cafe-Inspired Seasonal Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-flavors-of-fall.md)
