Apple-Based Treats to Try This Halloween and Thanksgiving

Autumn is here, which means apple season is in full swing. Naturally, apple season means sweet treats, desserts, and especially apple pie.

Freshly Baked Apple Pie

Few other desserts can match the earthy sweetness of homemade apple pie, and there are so many varieties here at Ecker’s perfect for baking: Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Cortland, and Haralson. Use single varietals or blend them together to create a varied taste and texture profile in every bite. For added decadence, try drizzling Ecker’s gluten-free caramel on top for an experience that will knock your wool socks off!

If your kitchen oven is over-booked this holiday season, let us do the baking for you! Ecker’s famous apple pies tend to sell out quickly, so it’s best to order ahead. And remember, Thanksgiving pies are pre-sale only; the list opens on our website October 31st!

Freeze That Freshly Baked Pie and Save It for Later

While you’ll never regret buying a fresh apple pie straight from the oven, life gets hectic around Halloween and Thanksgiving. Buy a frozen apple pie and save it for a later date – frozen baked and frozen raw available with thawing and baking instructions.

Let Your Kitchen Be the Bakery

Some party hosts prefer to do it themselves. At Ecker’s Apple Farm, you can buy our pies raw and frozen and do the baking from the comfort of your own home. Enjoy the cozy fall atmosphere of a warm kitchen filled with the smell of baked apples, cinnamon, and sugar.

Caramel Apples Are a Modern Halloween Staple

If you’re hosting a party to honor the spooky season, no treat will delight your guests more than our hand-dipped caramel apples. Plain, peanut, M&M, or Reese’s Pieces – every caramel apple we make is a work of art.

Fall Beer and Hard Cider at Our Farm

Warm sun, cold brews, a grassy field, and orchard views, fall weekends at Ecker’s beer garden, Hog’s Back Brew Farm is your happy place. Live music, food trucks, and our own flagship hard ciders: Fat Blossom Girls (sweet), HumStinger (semi-sweet), and Buzz Cut (dry), there’s nothing quite like an autumn afternoon at Ecker’s. All three ciders are gluten-free and available in 4-packs.

Ecker’s Apple Farm is the local favorite of Trempealeau, WI residents. We have all the fall apple treats you’ve been looking for. Give us a call at 608.539.2652 to get in touch with us about everything we have on offer.
