McKee Foods has expanded the Little Debbie lineup with the launch of Apple Cinnamon Donut Sticks. Available on shelves since late April, this new offering combines the classic experience of original Donut Sticks with the warm, inviting flavors of apple and cinnamon, making them a perfect addition to any morning routine.
The Apple Cinnamon Donut Sticks boast a soft yet substantial texture, topped with a flavorful apple cinnamon glaze, delivering a satisfying balance of texture and flavor. Ideal for on-the-go breakfasts, afternoon snacks, or alongside coffee or tea, these new treats are set to become a pantry staple for Little Debbie enthusiasts.
Early consumer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Comments include “tastes like an apple pie and the original Donut Sticks had a baby!” and “It smells so good,” with many praising the authentic apple flavor and aroma.
In response to consumer demand for more diverse and convenient breakfast options, McKee Foods continues to innovate while maintaining the quality and familiarity associated with the Little Debbie brand. The introduction of Apple Cinnamon Donut Sticks is a testament to this commitment.
Packaged in a 9.08 oz carton containing six individually wrapped pieces, Little Debbie Apple Cinnamon Donut Sticks are available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $2.79.
