The 5 Best Spots for Apple Cider Donuts in Illinois
Fall seems to be the season most of us think we'll start exercising to lose the summer excess but hold on, not so fast. You have to get a sack of donuts first.
I am a life-long apple cider donut lover. I'm being 100% honest when I say I have never had a bad cider donut. Never. I've had some that were better than others, but they were all delicious, and are welcome in my belly at any time.

I've got a house full of people who are quite excited about heading out and getting some warm cider donuts. Most Illinois apple orchards will be switching to fall hours in the next week or two. It never really seems quite like fall until you visit an orchard and fill a basket with apple cider, donuts, and snacks.

I've picked five different orchards all within a short drive from the Rockford area. They aren't in any particular order, they are all fantastic, so pick one this year that you've never been to before. These orchards all offer many apple varieties, delicious cider, donuts, and snacks, but each one of these places adds its own 'flavor' to your fun family experience.
Pick a favorite, get the family in the car, and go get something tasty. And, speaking of tasty, have you had the original Cider Donut Sundae, from Cherry Valley, IL's Cattle & Cream Market? Look at these.
