Stan's Donuts & Coffee and Affy Tapple Come Together Again to Bring a Fall Favorite to the Lineup

Stan’s Donuts & Coffee is once again teaming up with confectioner Affy Tapple. The returning collaboration combines the nostalgic flavors of Affy Tapple’s Original Caramel Apple with a classic fall donut to create a one-of-a-kind seasonal treat.

This year’s collaboration features the Affy Tapple Donut Hole—an apple cider donut hole covered in Affy Tapple caramel and peanuts. Combining the sweetness of a caramel apple with the soft, fluffy texture of a Stan’s donut and the crunch of peanuts, the seasonal creation brings together two Chicagoland brands and fall favorites.

A limited number of donut holes will also be offered in Affy Tapple’s packaging, finished with a co-branded sticker, exclusively at the standalone Stan’s Donuts & Coffee locations. The remaining donut holes will be displayed in bakery cases and sold individually on sticks.

The Affy Tapple Donut Hole will return to Stan’s Donuts & Coffee and Mariano’s locations throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs from September 30 through October 31. Each donut hole is $2.95. 

“Bringing together Stan’s Donuts and Affy Tapple has been a passion project of mine since 2020, and I’m thrilled to offer this special treat again this fall,” said Rich Labriola, founder and Chief Doughboy of Stan’s Donuts & Coffee. “Growing up in Chicago, Affy Tapple was always a cherished fall tradition. The Affy Tapple Donut Hole brings together two classic Chicago favorites, and we’re excited to share it with our customers again this season.”
