What Brookfield Orchards does with the apples, however, sends this apple dumpling into a hall of fame status. They overload the baked good with apples (usually Cortland) and then add the right amount of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/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=\"8767959031\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If that wasn&#8217;t enough, a heaping amount of vanilla ice cream is then added.

The combination doesn&#8217;t sound good but the taste buds reveal a different story. The two together are absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1030\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1030\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1030\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/brookfield-orchards.jpg\" alt=\"Brookfield Orchards in North Brookfield, Massachusetts.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/brookfield-orchards.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/brookfield-orchards-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/brookfield-orchards-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brookfield Orchards.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, this sweet treat doesn&#8217;t tell the whole story of Brookfield Orchards. It is one of the premier apple-picking destinations in New England with around 80 acres of apples. While fall brings the most customers with apples, a harvest festival and snack bar, Brookfield Orchards also remains open year-round. A main draw: The fantastic, authentic country store with jams, jellies, Vermont cheeses, homemade pies, apple cider and donuts, Kettle Corn, old-fashioned hard-to-find candies, home furnishings, toys, books, vintage clothing, nostalgic pop culture memorabilia and taxidermy merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and additional good news: The apple dumplings are available year-round!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BrookfieldOrchards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brookfield Orchards<\/a> is located at 12 Lincoln Rd. in North Brookfield, MA.
