Apple Pie Bubble Up

by

This only has 4 ingredients and it comes together so very quickly! You’d never guess something this simple could be so easy to make. All it takes is (2) apple pie filling, (2) butterscotch chips, (3) pre-made biscuit dough, and (4) cinnamon. And, it takes only about half an hour to bake

Here’s the recipe we used https://www.plainchicken.com/apple-pie-bubble-up/comment-page-1/

Note: We even skipped the icing because we thought it was awesome as is

Apple Pie Filling Recommendation – With all the time you save you might even want to try making your own pie filling, it only takes a few minutes after you peel and chop your apples. We doubled the following recipe to make our Bubble Up and were very pleased with the result – https://www.spendwithpennies.com/quick-stovetop-apple-pie-filling/

Brown Butter Apple Brownies

by

We are pretty sure there is more butter than apple in this recipe but it makes for a delicious dessert.

We think browning the butter is the trick that makes this treat work making again and again.

We found that it took a little to bake than the recipe called for. Perhaps it varies from one oven to another, but we just wanted to call that out so you knew you might have to adjust your baking time.

Enjoy!

French Apple Cake

by

This cake requires only a few ingredients and only a few steps yet the result seems so decadent, spongy and soft. Apples provide great texture. The Recipe is not super sweet, which is one of the reasons we liked it so much.

We did find that ours took a little less time to bake than suggested in the recipe so best to check yours early so you don’t over bake your cake.

Ultimate Apple Fritter Bread Recipe: Easy and Decadent

by

Hello, yumminess! Where on earth have we been that we never tried this classic?

The sugar/cinnamon combination on top bakes into the apples to form a glaze that you make sweeter with powdered sugar icing. It is so fritter-like, yet there isn’t any frying involved

We made this recipe which uses a full cup of sourdough discard. Yes, it seems like a lot of apples but trust us, you’ll want to use as many as they say.

If you aren’t into the sourdough craze there are plenty of other options – here is a recipe that looks equally tasty. We particularly like that the icing includes a bit of sour cream to offset the sweetness. Plain Greek yogurt will work just as well.

Our 2026 Orchard Season is Now Over

by

Thank you to everyone who joined us this fall. We so very much appreciate your support. We look forward to more orchard adventures next year

Keep us in mind for tours for your fall group outings. Please call ahead or email us to schedule a tour – the calendar fills up quickly.

Looking for unique gifts? We stock the Apple Barn with plenty of jams, jellies, craft items, and candles to choose from. What’s our favorite candle this year? Black Raspberry Harvest with its all things berry fragrance with vanilla undertones. And, its purple, so it goes great with all that orange fall decor. We are also test driving some new offerings, so keep an eye out for those.

Want to work at the orchard next fall? – If you are interested, please reach out. We need team members who can cover retail sales as well as tractor drivers for our wagon rides and all-around orchard help, e.g. picking apples/pumpkins, making cider and donuts, etc.
