There is, and they're pretty awesome. They are donut holes though, not whole donuts.

You know, that's what everyone says, so I must just be an apple cider donut ignoramous. Those things just taste like overly sweet dough balls to me, with a browner hue than most overly sweet dough balls.

I think one kind was sour cherry and the other was hazelnut-something. We didn't even finish them and baked goods usually have a short life in our house. Maybe her other products are better, but I'm not itching to find out.

Old Fashioned Donut, home of single best Apple Fritter in the known universe, makes a killer Apple Cider Donut. Mine was fresh from the fryer and the crisp exterior encasing warm moist apple flavored interior burst with rich apple goodness.

This week's Joe Caputo's ad had pumpkin donuts on ad for 89 cents each. I tried one yesterday. The edges are glazed. The pumpkin flavor was masked by the spices, so the pumpkin flavor was not as pronounced as I had hoped. I found a recipe for pumpkin donuts on recipezaar, so maybe I'll give it a try sometime.BigT wrote: My question - do any of these places have pumpkin donuts? Ideally, I'd like to find a source in the city limits as I live in Lakeview but I realize this may require a trip into the burbs.
