Cinnamon apple fritter at Revolution Doughnuts

Revolution Doughnuts’ cinnamon apple fritter triggers memories rooted so deep, it’s as though the flavor combination were written into the human genome. The knotty jumble of cinnamon-laced dough is fried to a deep molasses color and then glazed. The crunchy crust — of which there is plenty, thanks to all the lumps and bumps of dough — surrounds a moist, subtly spiced interior and bits of soft apple. The fritter has a freshness rarely found in such deep-fried, sugarcoated treats. It’s big enough to split. Or not. $3.
