Perkins American Food Co. is leaning into comfort food this January with the debut of several new Pie-Inspired Doughnuts.
Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, all of the new Pie-Inspired Doughnuts are flash-fried, dipped in a signature sweet glaze, and then finished with some sweet, pie-inspired toppings. As Toni Ronayne, President of Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, "We are delighted to kick off the new year with sweet new offerings. Our Pie-Inspired Doughnuts are the right amount of fun and nostalgia with doughy layers of fresh-baked comfort in every bite."
As far as flavors, the Pie-Inspired Doughnut collection includes the spiced apple-topped Apple Pie Doughnut, the vanilla cheesecake-topped Salted Caramel Cream Doughnut, the raspberry-filled Wildberry Delight Doughnut, and the crushed cookie-topped Cookies & Cream Doughnut.
