Though the humble doughnut is morgue sex videotrendy enough to have its own psuedo-holiday (happy National Doughnut Day, world!), the beauty of fried dough is its simplicity.

Whether you're browsing the cooling racks at a high-end shop or wandering the supermarket aisle in search of Entenmann's, you'll be pleased with what you walk out with, either way.

But while all doughnuts are good, some rise like yeasted dough above the rest. We polled our donut-loving staff, and these are our favorites from all over the U.S.

The Bacon Maple Bar, Voodoo Doughnut, various locations

The Apple Cider Doughnut, Silverman's Farm, Easton, Connecticut

"I will say truly any GOOD apple cider doughnut. I could eat about 20 at a time. The cinnamon, the freaking brown sugar, ugh. I will shout out the ones from Silverman's Farm in Easton, Connecticut, which for sure can’t be the best in the world, but they are the ones I eat most often. And they're not just a snack, they’re time-honored traditions that usher your tastebuds into a new season." -Nicole Gallucci, Culture Writer

The Buttermilk Old Fashioned, Blue Star Donuts, Portland, Oregon and Southern California

"The Old Fashioned cake doughnuts are juuuust crunchy enough on the outside, juuuuust doughy enough on the inside – a perfect combo. I could eat 10 million."- Marcus Gilmer, Assistant Culture Editor

The Boston Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts, various locations

"I've always enjoyed the Boston Kreme from Dunkin' Donuts, best served stale and at a reduced cost when you buy it at the end of the day. You don't want the doughiness of the doughnut to distract from the silky poisonous creme. You want HARD BREAD. Be advised: the doughnut can't be consumed safely without at least 10 to 15 napkins. Do not lick your hands post-snack." - Heather Dockray, Culture Writer

The Fruity Pebbles Doughnut, Montclair Bread Company, Montclair, New Jersey

"Montclair Bread Company in New Jersey has a Fruity Pebbles doughnut that is like Heaven on Earth."- Jake Krol, Tech Writer

The Cinnamon Twist, Bill's Donut Shop, Centerville, Ohio

"Bill's Donut Shop in Centerville, Ohio, will give any doughnut anywhere a run for its money. Get a Cinnamon Twist." - Alex Hazlett, Deputy Managing Editor

Any Chocolate Doughnut, Dough Doughnuts, New York, New York

"I usually buy something chocolatey at Dough (some people swear by the Hibiscus, but I don't trust it). I love the toppings, the texture, and how they are really just the cake of doughnuts, because I also love cake." - Proma Khosla, Entertainment Reporter

The Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut, Dun-Well Doughnuts, Brooklyn, New York

"Dun-Well Doughnuts are incredible and yes, they are vegan, and also yes, I have taken several extremely not-vegan people there who have all told me that it's one of the best doughnuts they've ever had."- Katarina Silverman, Animator

The Maple Dip Doughnut, Tim Hortons, various locations

"Tim Hortons runs circles around Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme (which is great, but overrated). Tim's gets the dough density just right, so it's not too rich or light. I could eat 'em all day." - Pete Pachal, Tech Editor

The Apple Fritter, Greenbush Bakery, Madison, Wisconsin

"It’s gigantic (like the size of a child’s head), perfectly gooey, and the perfect amount of sweet." - Cassie Murdoch, Culture Editor

The Chocolate Glazed Doughnut, Dunkin' Donuts, various locations

"I prefer a really dense, cakey doughnut that will make me hate myself after a few bites. The longer it sits in my stomach, the better. I'm from New England, so this basically means the Chocolate Glazed from Dunkin' Donuts is my ideal. #sorrynotsorry" - Nicole Cammorata, Commerce Editor

The Carrot Cake Doughnut, Doughnut Plant, New York, New York

"This glazed doughnut is small but surprisingly weighty, due (I think) to a ring of cream cheese frosting insidethe doughnut. It's like the best slice of carrot cake you've ever had, but somehow moister."- Laura Vitto, Deputy Culture Editor
