Krispy Kreme is celebrating Thanksgiving with three new pie-inspired doughnuts.

The trio of treats debuted earlier this month — and this weekend, customers can get two dozen for just $13.
Tasty! Krispy Kreme is celebrating Thanksgiving with three new pie-inspired doughtnuts
Yum! The Dutch Apple Pie Donut has apple pie filling and caramel icing and streusel, while the Chocolate Kreme Pie Donut has chocolate cream filling and is topped with chocolate icing
Must have! Finally, the Cherry Pie Donut has a cherry filling and is topped with a crispy helping of pie crust crumbles and lattice icing
The new Dutch Apple Pie Donut has an apple pie filling and is topped with caramel icing, streusel, and an icing lattice.
The Chocolate Kreme Pie Donut has a chocolate cream filling and is topped with chocolate icing, a dollop of Kreme, and mini chocolate chips.
Finally, the Cherry Pie Donut has a cherry filling and is topped with a crispy helping of pie crust crumbles and lattice icing.
The ‘Easy as Pie’ doughnuts will be available through Thanksgiving, and the chain also has a Pumpkin Spice Cake Donut in stores.
As far as calorie intake, if you’re planning to try and keep your intake at a lower level this holiday season, then Cherry Pie is the flavor for you. The sweet treat contains a relatively-low 300 calories, while the Dutch Apple Pie has 350, and the Chocolate Kreme Pie contains 360.
Cherry Pie is also the best option in terms of sugar intake; it contains 15g of sugar in comparison to the Chocolate Kreme Pie’s 24g and the Dutch Apple Pie’s 26g.
However, the doughnuts could still be a much healthier option than a slice of traditional pie, with the average dutch apple pie ringing in at around 400 calories per piece, depending on your portion pick, of course.
