Where to Find the Best Apple Cider Donuts in Illinois This Fall

I told myself the same lie I tell myself every year: "I'm not going to get the donuts this time."  And just like that, a half dozen apple cider donuts appear in the backseat of my car from Edwards Apple Orchard.  Who put them there?!

Just kidding, it was me.

Not only did I grab donuts, but I grabbed some raspberry salsa, mini tortilla chips, and hand-picked peaches in a mason jar. Yum!!!

Going to the apple orchard is one of my favorite fall traditions.  The whole vibe of sweater weather puts me in such a good mood!  Once you step inside the barn, you just start grabbing things like your life depends on it.  It can get dangerous!

There was a woman in line ahead of me who bought ten dozen donuts.  Not sure if it was all for her or she was sharing the love, but she must love them that much.  So many people love Edwards Apple Orchard donuts, but where else can we find cider donuts in case they sell out?!
