COLLEGEDALE, Tenn., June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- McKee Foods has expanded the Little Debbie portfolio with the introduction of Apple Cinnamon Donut Sticks. Available on shelves since late April, this new offering merges the classic experience of original Donut Sticks with the warm, inviting flavors of apple and cinnamon, making them a great addition to any morning routine.
