Kimmel's Orchard

What: Apple Cider Donuts

Where: Kimmel's Orchard, Nebraska City

When: Sunday, September ??, 2015

Last year we may have slept in a little too much before heading to Nebraska City, which is about an hour drive from Lincoln. There were no apple cider donuts when we got there. I was heartbroken. While I love fall, I am kind of over the whole pick your own craze. Probably because Kimmel's is pretty expensive compared to what you can get at the grocery store.

This year, we made sure to get up and be there when they opened at 11am. I was not missing the apple cider donuts two years in a row! And it was well worth it. We got a warm one from the concession stand each, along with a deluxe apple cider float. Apple cider, ice cream, and caramel sauce. It was amazing. The warm donuts were fried perfectly, soft and doughy on the inside. 

After we enjoyed our two hot ones, we made sure to get a box to take home. Because two people definitely need a dozen apple cider donuts. But have no fear, I learned in June that donuts freeze fairly well so we froze them to save for later. A whole month of fresh apple cider donuts! I'd give them a 5/5 (and that deluxe apple cider float a 6/5!)
