To usher in the fall season, Hostess has just debuted a whole new lineup of sweet autumnal treats, including the highly anticipated Apple Cinnamon Donettes.
For fall 2020, Hostess will be bringing back three iconic fall treats: Pumpkin Spice Twinkies, Iced Pumpkin Cupcakes, and the Caramel Crunch Donettes. The pumpkin and caramel treats will also be joined by the debut of two new Donette varieties. First up is the Maple Glazed Donettes, which are mini cake donuts topped with a sweet maple-flavored glaze. Next is the Apple Cinnamon Donettes, which are miniature cake donuts infused with natural apple flavors and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Both of the fall-themed Donettes will be sold in single-serve sleeves that contain six mini donuts each.
