Grab A Free Doughnut At Angry Orchard Cider Company

WALDEN, NY — Angry Orchard Cider Company and New York City-based The Doughnut Project have teamed up again, this time for National Apple Cider Day Nov. 18 to bring hard cider and the timeless apple crisp dessert together into a one-of-a-kind creation: The Angry Crisp Doughnut. While it may seem like there’s a foodie holiday for everything these days, National Apple Cider Day is one to definitely celebrate this year.

To do so, you could grab a freshly-picked apple from a local orchard, or you could opt for the Angry Crisp Doughnut, according to a spokeswoman. You can get a perfectly sweet and soft twist on the classic apple crisp in a doughnut that is made with a touch of hard cider.

Infused with Angry Orchard’s flagship cider style, Crisp Apple, the Angry Crisp Doughnut is crumbly, with a crunchy topping, and a warm doughy inside.

To celebrate National Apple Cider Day, the doughnut creation will be available for a limited time, Friday, Nov. 17 through Sunday, Nov. 19 at The Doughnut Project’s West Village location and at Angry Orchard’s Cider House at the Angry Orchard in Walden on Saturday, Nov. 18.

For folks who won’t be able to make it to either of these locations, Angry Orchard and The Doughnut Project are sharing the recipe for home bakers around the country, encouraging them to share their very own Angry Crisp creations on social media, tagging @AngryOrchard and using the hashtag #AngryCrisp.

“Everyone enjoys a refreshing hard cider paired with their favorite doughnut, especially during the fall,” said Ryan Burk, head cider maker at Angry Orchard. “So for National Apple Cider Day, we wanted to bring the pairing to life with our cider, giving people yet another unique way to experience Angry Orchard and celebrate the season.”

While the cider makers at Angry Orchard are constantly experimenting with new styles, blends and techniques, similarly, The Doughnut Project is known for its small-batch, innovative creations and playing with unique flavors.

“We have a true passion point for creating unique, unexpected and delicious recipes,” says Leslie Polizzotto, co-founder of The Doughnut Project. “The Apple Crisp is such an iconic fall dessert and we wanted to give people a taste of it like they’ve never had before. The hard cider in this recipe provides the perfect amount of juicy fresh apple notes that balance the doughnuts’ sweet crunchy goodness.”

To experience the Crisp Apple Cider Doughnut, visit The Doughnut Project at 10 Morton St. in New York City. Angry Orchard will also have limited quantities available at no cost for drinkers who visit the Angry Orchard, 2241 Albany Post Road, in Walden. Quantities are limited; doughnuts will be available while they last.
