Apple Cider Donut and Cinnamon Stick at Honey Dew Donuts.

I knew I wanted to try an apple cider donut, but was talked into also trying a “fruit stick” at a local donut shop by a friend who was from the area.  So I found a place and ordered them with my coffee.  The best thing about it was my coffee.  Thanks, Chef Matt.

Not their fault, mine.  I have preconceived notions of what MY donut should be.
    
But first, let me explain my theory of when people tell you to try something they loved as a child.  It may never have been as good as they remember it was.  They may have not had it for a while, and so have built an almost mythical expectation of it.  Or it simply may not be made the way they used to be.
    
Then, there are your own expectations.  I am not a sweets person, and do not eat a lot of donuts.  Except for one.  I truly enjoy an apple fritter.  I had my first one 33 years ago, in Fort Collins Colorado, at 3am, at a truck stop.  I was about to go trout fishing on the Colorado.  The guide stopped for gas, and to get coffee and donuts, so I did also.  I was sold.
    
So now all other donuts have to measure up to that one.  Only a couple at home do, especially the one on Union Mall, thanks
​Mr. donut.
    
The ones at Honey Dew were good, but not as good as those.
