Krispy Kreme announced the availability of its latest specialty donut collection, the Autumn's Orchard collection. This donut series is packed full of fall flavors such as maple, apple, caramel, and pumpkin. In total, the menu includes five baked goods. These are the 'Apple Fritter,' the 'Maple Pecan Cheesecake Donut,' the 'Spiced Apple Filled Donut,' the 'Salted Caramel Brownie Donut,' and the 'Pumpkin Spice Cake Donut.'
These five seasonal offerings are available now nationwide throughout the fall season, while supplies last. The prices of each baked good will vary based on whether the item is ordered individually, in bulk, or in a mixed pack.
Dave Skena, the global chief brand officer at Krispy Kreme, stated: "Our new Autumn’s Orchard Collection has all of that and more. Just one bite of our new handmade fritter with real diced apples and generous amounts of cinnamon will make you a fan of fall if you’re not already.”
