I realize I am in the minority when I say that I kind of hate autumn. So many people are completely crazy for fall, but I am not. To me, it mostly means the party is over (summer) and something awful is on its way (winter). However, I do fully embrace fall foods. I would bathe in butternut squash soup if I could. I’d be happy eating pumpkin at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And there is nothing better than apple season at its prime. Especially when those apples can be eaten in the form of donuts.
We went in search of freshly fried apple cider donuts this weekend and were excited to find them at Wilson Farm in Lexington. But before I could make my way to the donuts, I fell madly in love with the incredible pumpkin display on the side of the store. I couldn’t stop staring. But then I remembered there were donuts to be consumed, so we made our way to the line (stopping to sample cauliflower soup and Macoun apples on the way). I was pretty surprised at the low prices — $0.50 per donut, which meant two donuts for my daily dollar splurge.
The donuts were fried, then dunked in cinnamon sugar right before our eyes.
I guess if fall means 80 degrees and sunny plus apple cider donuts, I can get used to it.

Oh yum!! We still need to make it to apple picking this season. Do you recommend Wilson Farm?
I do love Wilson Farm, but it’s not a pick-your-own place. If you want the lazy route, go there. If you want the orchard experience, you’ll have to go a bit farther out of town. Let me know what you find!
That place is so cute! Made butternut squash soup yesterday. It was great.
