Apple Pie, Cider and Doughnuts: It Must Be Fall!

What better way to welcome in Fall than a trip to the Cider Mill in Endicott, New York.

While visiting my dad and sister in my hometown of  Binghamton, New York, I took a trip to the Cider Mill.  It certainly must be that time of year because there were two parking attendants guiding cars in and out of their busy lot. Outside were bins of several varieties of apples plus other seasonal fruits and vegetables, including a selection of pumpkins for Halloween--already! 

Inside was an educational experience on the process of making cider, doughnuts, and apple pie. While sampling freshly made cider, we watched as the apples were pressed, filtered, and bottled.  The cider was surprisingly light and subtly sweet--delicious.

Depending on the time of day, you can also watch them make candied apples, pies and doughnuts. We missed this part but made up for it by purchasing as many of the products as we could afford.

We bought apple jelly and raspberry preserves, a couple of gallons of cider, an apple pie and a dozen doughnuts. 

                              

We had considered going apple picking and then making an apple pie, but hey, I'm on vacation!
