Hey groovygirl, you don't have to get apple pie with that...cause you can apparently get a McDonut that *tastes* like an apple pie (well, apple crisp, but close enough.)

I am back in Boston. Fortunately, while I was at that NYC-based Mcdonald's, I pocketed the table card advertising the McDonut flavors (I wanted to save it to prove I wasn't hallucinating the whole McDonut experience).

As you can see from the pic, the first flavor they list is APPLE CRISP.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that flavor REALLY bizarre. I can totally understand donut flavors based on fruit (e.g., blueberry) or candy (e.g., chocolate). But if you think about it, all basic donut flavors *build on* the existing *natural* flavor of a donut. I mean, a plain donut has a very distinct flavor. Donut flavor.

But Apple Crisp is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT DESSERT DISH, with it's own unique flavor. So how can you make an apple crisp flavored donut? That would be like making....a donut flavored apple crisp. Right?

Maybe I just need to eat a plain goddamn plate of apple crisp and chill out...

"Would you like that in donut flavor?"
