🍎Apple orchards are stepping up their game when it comes to attracting guests with delicious baked goods – it’s not all about apple cider donuts anymore! Here are some of the very best treats we’ve found at apple orchards that are totally worth the short day trip. 🍎
Grandad’s Apples N Such
The bakery team at Grandad’s is out to make you a repeat customer this year. They have a Mountain Glacier Slushie that you can get with or without ice cream, and they introduced their Apple pie cinnamon roll this year for extra sweetness.
2951 Chimney Rock Rd, Hendersonville, NC
Jeter Mountain Farm
Everything is stunning at this beautiful orchard, and their brand new creamery is no different. The team at Jeter is serving up small-batch ice cream this year, made right there at the orchard and with local ingredients – their newest is Apple Pie. You can even create an ice cream float with their sparkling cider.

Sky Top Orchard
Typically known for their amazing donuts and insanely gorgeous views, Sky Top has introduced the Apple Cider Doughnut Slushie Float – layers of cider slushy with soft serve ice cream topped with one of their delicious doughnuts.
1193 Pinnacle Mountain Rd, Zirconia, NC
Justus Orchard
This family-run orchard has lots of activities for both kids and adults (hello, tap room), but their Apple Cider Float is worth the stop alone. It’s topped with homemade granola straight from grandma’s kitchen.
187 Garren Road, Hendersonville, NC
Apple Hill Orchard
Located in Morganton, NC, this orchard churns out some delicious bakery treats. Their baker told us that they create new treats every week! They recently offered the Caramel Apple Stack – a concoction of apples drizzled in caramel, topped with ice cream and a donut.
