Awesome Apple Fritter, Thank You Donut King

Jerry & Linda of The Villages Florida Newcomers recently shared their favorite Donut King finds. Linda held her hands out wide demonstrating their apple fritter. 

Oh Really, Linda? Ok. I shall judge for myself. 


Driving south on 14th Street in Leesburg Florida the bright tri-color awning catches your eye. The smell strokes your curiosity. The sign, Donut King, dares you to stop.

To be declared awesome, what must an apple fritter be? 

Light, it must seem weightless in the hand. Upon lifting if your dense-dough alarm is triggered, look for a muffin. 


Sight, a vast amount of diced apples must be in plain sight. If you see glaze and haze, consider a jelly filled. 


Texture, smooth and uniform is not to be accepted. Great technique equals crispy elegance. If undignified roundness is your score, just get a small coffee. 


Aroma, the scent of apple pie spice erases all doubt you are in America. Forget about that fritter heritage Wikipedia would have you believe, just inhale and place your order already. 


A frisbee, a Donut King apple fritter is the size of a frisbee. Size can be impressive. Size can also be incapable. Awesomeness cannot yet be awarded. 

Aroma, yes, I feel America wash over me. Is that Lee Greenwood I hear? 


Sight, yes, I see apples left, right, and center. Can I take a bite now? 


Light, yes oh so light. No need to look at the other treats for sale. Wait, did someone just order gumbo?


Texture, yes, won’t be slipping from my grip. An artist created this. Has respect been earned?


To Linda, and the world, I declare the Donut King apple fritter to be AWESOME! 

A bit more about Donut King. They make their donuts by hand daily. A wide variety of popular favorites and unique creations live at their three locations. It is said that if you do not see what you seek, Donut King will make it for you. I’ll put that offer to the test, someday. 


More than just donuts are on the menu. Their own castle burger and New Orleans fare awaits those curious enough to take the dare. 


I dare you to find awesome at Donut King.
