Today my mother and I went to find out about bricks for her community project. After helping her determine what would be best for the project we went to a cider mill we heard about that wasn't far from that location. Inside it had lots of apples, jams, cider, and of course, doughnuts!
We got a dozen, 2 apple fritters, and 2 jugs of apple cider. Fresh doughnuts are always the best, and light and flaky compared to any made in a grocery store bakery. We got glazed pumpkin, sugared pumpkin, sourdough, peanut, cinnamon & sugar, blueberry, and maple walnut doughnuts. They were really good, but I could only eat a few before I had enough!
When I was little we used to have a cider mill up our street and my brother and I loved going there. But it was too far off the beaten path and closed down when I was still in high school. There was something that made fall perfect by driving through the falling leaves, seeing the colors of the hills, and getting fresh apple cider and doughnuts!

I love making applesauce. Unfortunately we had a killing freeze on May 23 that took out all the apple blossoms. It actually took out our hay field too. It was never very tall because all the tops were killed early.

It was very much a sugar binge, but it was very tasty.

Yes, and I'm glad that it's close enough to drive to, but far enough away that I won't be going there very often!

I've never tried apple cider, not sure if I'd like it. But those doughnuts sound delicious!

@OneOfMany Yeah I can imagine it's a really really thick version of apple juice. I love apple juice but not sure if I'd enjoy the concentrated version of it.

@cahaya1983 Apple juice is pretty good just the way it is!

It's a different taste than apple juice, but similar. It's good, but potent. Never drink more than a glass or you'll be in trouble! Doughnuts are always great, fresh is even better!

Apple cider is great. Do you have any cider mills near you?

Right now the trees are getting to be in full color too. It makes for a nice background when doing fall-related activities. I like the apple fritters even cold, but they are great warm as well!
