Apple Pie Trail

You can almost taste it just thinking about it. Delicious old-fashioned apple pie made from the freshest fruits picked in Orange County where more than a thousand acres of orchards produce more than 25 varieties of apples. On your next visit to our world-class shopping and attractions be sure to stop along the way to taste the pie, or just come for the pie. From Times Square, it's less than 60 miles to Orange County pie.

Why not go right to the source? Many orchards bake right on the premises. Some have a selection of pies on hand; others suggest that you call ahead to place an order. Or, pick your own fruit in season for use in your favorite recipe. Most of the orchards feature crisp, juicy apples from September through early October. Some early varieties are ready in late August. Bring the whole family for value-added fall weekend events during the harvest season. If you're planning to pick your own apples, call ahead to check on availability and weather conditions.
