Photo credit: Volante Farms<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apples and apple cider are food and drink staples of the New England fall season (and beyond), but let&#8217;s not forget about apple cider doughnuts. They are incredibly tasty, filling and don&#8217;t cost too much dough. Sorry for that pun.<\/p>\n<p>A growing number of farm stands, bakeries, doughnut shops (makes sense to me!) and even supermarkets (not always a pretty picture) in New England feature apple cider doughnuts, especially in the fall. The trick to making a great apple cider doughnut is infusing the right amount of fresh apple cider into the batter. Some throw some extra cinnamon and other spices into the mix for an additional kick. When it&#8217;s done right &#8212; baked or fried &#8212; apple cider doughnuts require multiple servings. It&#8217;s almost impossible to eat just one!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0542617997214413\" data-ad-slot=\"5425428836\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnewengland.com\/scenesofnewengland24.html\">Big Apple Farm<\/a> in Wrentham, Mass., makes a good cider doughnut, <a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/?p=2932\">Cold Hollow Cider Mill<\/a> in Waterbury, Vt., and Wilson Farm in Lexington, Mass., even better and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnewengland.com\/kanes-donuts-saugus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kane&#8217;s Donuts<\/a> in Saugus, Mass., and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnewengland.com\/red-apple-farm-phillipston-ma.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Apple Farm in Phillipston, Mass.<\/a> just about the best.

I know, as just mentioned, you would think a rural New Hampshire or Vermont farm stand might be the spot for finding the best cider doughnuts, but we can&#8217;t deny what our taste buds tell us. Sure, you wouldn\u2019t expect to find such a great cider doughnut in the Boston suburbs, but this outstanding landmark farm stand creates magic with a moist, flavorful, full-bodied version. Additionally, the apple cider doughnuts at Volante Farms aren&#8217;t just a one-note food attraction. This is flat-out a great farm stand &#8212; definitely one of the best in the Boston area. Volante Farms has been in business since 1917, expanded greatly through the years without compromising quality, and features fabulous produce, a greenhouse, bakery and deli (with seating), ice cream from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnewengland.com\/Crescent-Ridge-Dairy-Bar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crescent Ridge<\/a> in Sharon, Mass. (named by National Geographic as one of the best in the world), craft beers and wines, and hundreds of Christmas trees during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all great, but start first with the apple cider doughnuts!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to find great apple cider donuts:<\/strong><br \/>\nVolante Farms,292 Forest St., Needham MA.
