Apple Gifts, Great Pick

Could anything be as refreshing as a crisp, flavorful apple picked from the tree? Let's see - how about a warm, flaky apple pie or a cider glazed apple rollover right out of the oven? Make your selection from the Pine Tree Orchard bakery and you won't need to lift a finger - just a fork.

The Pine Tree Orchard Bakery is famous throughout this area for creating a variety of special apple treats. Our pies have received rave notices for many years. Folks say they taste "homemade". That's not surprising because they are homemade, from scratch with the freshest of ingredients. Even the pie crusts are light and tasty. It's easy to serve a delicious slice of pie to a large or small gathering without a lot of work.

APPLE DELIGHTS

Here are a few wonderful things to select:

Apple Pie – Baked up sweet and juicy and carefully spiced, then lovingly wrapped in a delicate crust.
Apple Rollover – Phenomenal puff pastry filled with apples and topped with sweet spicy cider icing. Our signature item.

STRAWBERRY CREATIONS

When the strawberries are ripe and ready for picking our strawberry bakery is ready too. We make such delicacies as fresh Strawberry Pies, Strawberry-Rhubarb Rollovers, Strawberry Rhubarb Pies and of course those Strawberry Muffins that are to die for. Our bakery is open every day during the strawberry season.

And if you were not able to come out to our strawberry patch during the season ( mid-June to mid-July) you're still in luck. We have strawberries, picked at the height of flavor and freshness, then frozen in pints or individually in pound bags, as well as jams and jellies, frozen strawberry rhubarb pie, and assorted strawberry cakes. These items are available all through the apple season.

THE INCIDER STORY

In the good old days, fermented apple cider was practically a national beverage, despite ( or because of) its less-than-sobering effects. Although not fermented, today's apple cider is still "intoxicating" but only because of its fresh, 100% natural flavor.

Not only is cider delicious, it's good for you too. According to the International Apple Institute, the pectin in apples helps keep cholesterol down. And cider is high in potassium and low in salt. It makes a delicious and healthful alternative to soft drinks.

Bill Jacobson's special blending of sweet and tart juices, no sugar added, makes Pine Tree Orchard's cider special. Squeezed fresh and pasteurized it's available in half and full gallon containers. And don't forget how good hot cider is on chilly fall and winter evenings. Stock up - you may freeze it if the container has about a cup's worth of space for expansion.

JAM, JELLIES, AND OTHER GIFTS

Besides being a beautiful place to visit, the orchard is also a great shopping stop. In connection with our apple/bakery market we also have a gift shop as well. Well stocked with great apple kitchen gadgets and country flavored gift items. We have fantastic jams and jellies made with the pick of our crop, and maple syrup and honey too.

CARAMEL APPLES

Pine Tree's caramel apples are simply the very best. The caramel is so sweet and gooey and the apples so juicy and tart , it's dribble down your chin goodness. In season from mid August through October.
