One of my favorite fall activities is to head out to the
mountains and pick apples. We have this great orchard that’s only an hour from
our house that we go to every year – Carter Mountain Orchard. This year has
been really awesome, we’ve made 3 trips up there!
The views from the top of the mountain are simply fabulous
and you really can’t beat fresh picked apples right off the tree. We bought a
ton of apples this year so that I can make all of the apple recipes that I pinned
to my Pinterest board. Apple bread, apple muffins, apple crisp, apple
snickerdoodles and applesauce. Whew!
Besides the apples, the absolute BEST reason to go visit
Carter Mountain is for their apple cider donuts. I seriously cannot even
express to you in words how amazing these donuts are. They are made on site and
you get them hot and fresh. It’s ridiculously easy to eat an entire dozen. I
tell myself this is OK because the holidays are coming soon and I might as well
just start the unhealthy eating habits now. Pair these donuts with a cup of
their hot cider and you may never want to leave.
My other favorite part of Carter Mountain (which is
relatively new) is the Bold Rock Cider tasting room. It’s this cool cellar
where you can get a tasting of all the different hard ciders that Bold Rock has
to offer. They are a local cidery which
is cool and they always have new seasonal flavors. It’s fun to grab a pint and
hang out at the picnic tables with lunch and just enjoy the views.
If you get the chance to go visit them – take it. I know you’ll
love it!
