My must-stop at the Big Apple

Big Apple at Colborne

Whenever we come from a trip east of Toronto, we always (ok, almost always) stop by the Big Apple at Colborne before heading home.  I love having freshly baked goods at home, so we detour for some apple bread and pie.

In the most recent trip, I couldn’t resist the other goodies. I got some apple coffee cake, cider and dehydrated apples along with my usual apple bread and Mumble Crumble pie. Depending on the time, we sometimes also stop here for a meal as they serve ribs, chicken, burgers and soup. Of course, they have sliced pie for dessert as well.

The Mumble Crumble pie is my favourite. It comes in small, regular and even a party size.

There are other tons of goodies at their store and I can rack up quite the bill (and calories) if I got everything I want to eat!  There are other things to do apart from eat and buy goodies at Big Apple bakery. You can view the kitchens where they make the pies and they have a hard cider-tasting area. They also have a gift shop—of course, as tourist buses stop here too!

Outside, the kids can explore and actually go up inside the Big Apple structure. It is a 35-ft structure with an observation deck at the top.  They also have mini-golf, ping pong, bocce ball, shuffle board and even train rides (weekends). These are all for free! Plus, my traveling Yorkie has a designated area to roam around! Yay!

So with all they have to offer, how can I resist this stopover?! Days after I stop by, I still enjoy my baked goodies. Yum.
