September's monthly special is here, and it tastes like the turn of the season: the Green Apple Cake Donut. As the mornings cool off and apple season kicks into gear, we're leaning into one of fall's brightest flavors.
The base is a cake donut, not a yeast donut, so the crumb is denser and more tender, closer to a good muffin than a glazed donut. We finish it with a glossy layer of green apple icing that's tart and sweet at the same time, the pucker of a crisp green apple balanced against the sweetness you want from a donut.
Fall's First Flavor
Apples and fall go hand in hand in Ohio. Orchards start filling up, cider shows up at every stand, and the whole season smells like it. The Green Apple Cake Donut is our way of ringing that in early, a bright, tart bite that feels like the first cool morning of the year.
It's a little different from the warm cinnamon-and-spice flavors you'll see later in the fall. Green apple is crisp and lively, more orchard-fresh than cozy, which makes it a great way to kick off the season before the heavier flavors arrive.
What Makes It Different
- Cake donut, not yeast. A denser, tender crumb that holds up to the icing and eats like a treat.
- Green apple icing. Bright and tart-sweet, a glossy finish with that crisp green apple flavor.
- Made for apple season. A lighter, fresher take on fall before the cinnamon and spice roll in.
- September only. When the month ends, the Green Apple Cake Donut heads back to the vault.
$2.15 each. In the case all month long, while supplies last.
