Apple Fritter: 410 Calories
There’s one donut that surpasses the rest as far as overall calories, and that’s the classic Apple Fritter. Undeniably delicious, this donut comes in at 410 calories a pop.

Coming in behind the Apple Fritter and the Oreo Cookies & Kreme Doughnut are three flavors that tie for third place with 350 calories each: the Chocolate Iced Doughnut with Kreme Filling, the Cake Batter Doughnut, and the Banana Puddin’ Pie Doughnut.
The Chocolate Iced Doughnut with Kreme Filling is another Krispy Kreme classic. Their take on a Boston Creme donut, this one is made with a light and fluffy dough that’s filled with Krispy Kreme’s signature silky KREME filling, and then finished off with a layer of sweet chocolate icing.
To make the Cake Batter Doughnut, Krispy Kreme uses a cake batter-flavored version of the KREME filling to fill the donut, and then tops it with yellow-colored icing and confetti sprinkles for a festive touch, whether it’s your birthday or not.
Lastly, the Banana Puddin’ Pie Doughnut is one of Krispy Kreme’s limited edition flavors that’s part of the current collaboration between Dolly Parton and Krispy Kreme: Dolly’s Southern Sweets Collection. This donut is filled with banana-flavored KREME filling and wafers that create a makeshift banana “pudding” inside, then dipped in yellow icing with white swirls and topped with more wafer cookie pieces.
