Such a cutesy little farm stand/bakery! They have several varieties of baked goodies, fresh jams, apple cider, fresh fruit and even quilts! We picked a few varieties of persimmons, jams and corn nuts. The persimmons were at the perfect ripeness level. Delicious and crisp without being overwhelmingly sweet. The corn nuts were incredibly crispy and the flavoring they used was not overpowering. Yet to try the jam but it was reasonably priced at $5 for a small jar. We could see the real strawberries inside it as well. read more

Yum yum yummy How to choose!! We had apple turnovers and got apple crumb cake to go, apple cider. Sat outside at a table enjoying our turnovers and hot coffee on a perfect autumn morning. Can't wait to back read more

Very cute little store for fresh fruit, baked good, jams, syrups, coffee, and hot apple cider. You've got to try the apple cider donuts... not too sweet & very light cake sprinkled in cinnamon sugar. The turnovers are also delicious, we shared an apple one. Coffee is nice and strong, of your driving through. Hot cider is equally as good. It's so good, after visiting Calaveras Big Trees and working off our treats, we ended up stopping back by for some to share with neighbors and friends. Everyone was so nice and helpful. read more

Cute place. Very popular with the tourists. Service was super nice and lots of delicious apples and apple dishes. Yum!

We saw this off the side of the road on the way to a hike and decided to stop by! The staff were extremely friendly! They were eager to answer our questions and even gave us free apple cider donuts!! (First-time customers get free donuts! ). Stepping inside, you are immediately greeted with a warm, cozy environment where the air is filled with apple smell that just reminded me of Christmas! We bought a bottle of their apple cider and an apple fritter. We are in love!! Definitely coming here every single time we're in the area. I think we have found our new tradition! read more

I love the Red Apple. Every time I come up to Arnold, I always stop on the way up if I have the time or if they're open. If not, I will drive back down the hill and purchase something during the week and at least once on the way back down the hill when heading home, their pastries are great. Their pies are great.They're honey is really good and I'll take one or two jars of jam on the way back home. They have a lot of varieties. Their berry jams are amazing. read more

Went to breakfast in Murphys then headed to The Red Apple. I was full and really didn't need an apple fritter! But found out in one bite I needed this fritter!! So much crunch in the outer coating, and the fresh apples!! Mmm best one I have had. And the blueberry fritter was made in heaven!! It is a must stop when you're in the area!! Awesomeness!! read more

Stumbled upon this place on the way to Calaveras Big Trees, and ended up stopping by on the way home. I'm so glad we gave this spot a chance because we had a wonderful experience! They gave us a sample of their apple cider and it was delicious. It was super fresh with 0 added sugars or any other additives, which is what sold us. Also, their apple cider taste much better than Apple Hill's!! So we bought two quarts of apple cider, and an apple fritter which was the best apple fritter I've ever had! They also gave each of us a free apple donut for being first time visitors, that was super nice of them. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Omg what an adorable spot! We stopped here (twice) on our recent trip to Arnold. We got their apple cider doughnuts, apple fritter, turnovers and a couple cookies, all were delicious! The apple fritter and doughnuts were so good that we had to come back and get more on our way home. The cookies were crispy and flavorful. The doughnuts and turnovers were a perfect combo of sweet but not too sweet. The fritter was a little sweet but it was fluffy and yummy nonetheless. We also picked up some apples and stone fruit with were all delicious! We will be back. read more

Small shop with all sort of fun things to snack on. The employees are super friendly. I asked what was in the Harvest turnover and the girl said with a smile the four fruits in it. After she said that, I spot the sign right in front of my face that says "what's in a harvest turnover?". They probably get that question a lot! We had an apple cider donut and an apple turnover, which we heated up the next day for breakfast. Both were good. The star of the show, in my opinion, was the hot spiced apple cider. Perfect for a cold day, not too sweet, and the spices were strong but not overpowering. If we lived closer, I would definitely try their other items like the regular apple cider and their enormous pies! read more

Spent a fun long weekend in the Murphys area and stopped by this busy roadside shop. It ended up being way more than your typical fruit stand, and offered a full bakery and snack shop inside. People were getting the huge apple pies and the cinnamon donuts. I opted for some of their chile limon corn nuts and a cinnamon donut, while our friends picked up an apple pie, a truly enormous apple strudel, and a jug of apple cider. That cinnamon donut will haunt my dreams! It was still warm from the fryer, with a perfectly crispy exterior and pillowy soft cinnamon cake interior. This donut alone was worth the stop. The awesome corn nuts were also demolished that night, as they were packed with seasoning reminiscent of spicy limon Cheetos, in the best way. The pie and the strudel were both good, but the apples, while very fresh, remained a little firmer than I'm used to in such desserts. The next day I had to come back before leaving the area. I was bummed that they didn't have donuts yet, but instead had apple fritters and blueberry fritters! I'd never seen a blueberry version before, so I took one home. It was perfect, big enough to share and so delicious. Honestly, why are other donut shops sleeping on blueberry fritters?? In short, stop by if you're even within an hour's drive, and get fresh cider and cinnamon donuts that will honestly kind of ruin you. read more

I love picking up a pie when I'm in the area. I had the "Harvest" pie that had apples, apricots, peaches and pears. For $25 you can't go wrong. It's a bit hefty too. I've been dropping by here for years. With vanilla ice cream it's delicious. They also sell fruit, apple juice and jams etc. Come on by! read more

The best donuts in all the land. Seriously, these are the best donuts I've ever had. I can tell I'm getting close to The Red Apple from a mile away just by the incredible smell wafting along Highway 4. Every time I'm in the area, stopping here is a must. The donuts are absolutely perfect!! Hot, fresh, not overly sweet or greasy. Just right. And the smell? Honestly, that might be the best part. I've only ever tried their donuts (and cider, which is also amazing!!), but that alone is enough to make this place unforgettable. If you're anywhere near, do yourself a favor and stop by The Red Apple! read more

This is the BEST apple turnover I have ever had! Very flaky buttery pastry, not your typical generic puff pastry. Not too sweet, with minimal Icing and a tad of nuts on top. Not to take away from the overall greatness of the turnover. Perfect amout of apple filling and served warm! So delicious! Even before you open the the door you can smell warm apple pie. I also tried the apple fritter. Not the best I've had, just ok. They need to be a a little more doughy as they were flat and a little hard. The flavor was good but I prefer more cinnamon. I also got a quart of apple cider which I thought was fresh pressed but sadly it was pasteurized, still it tasted ok for what it is. The service was friendly and I only had to wait about few minutes. I'll definitely come back when I am in the area. read more

The Red Apple is a great little farm stand conveniently located on Hwy 4. They have so many great things to enjoy! You MUST try one of their delicious APPLE DOUGHNUTS (better than Apple Hill), fruit fritters and turnovers, fresh baked cookies, fresh apple cider, lemonade, and lots of cute novelty gifts! They have lots of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables to choose from and their pricing was very reasonable. The service and staff are friendly, the ambiance is farm-quaint, and there is plenty of parking. The Red Apple is a must have!! read more

My husband cannot resist an apple cider. We've had cider all over California and the Midwest. He will always pull over. This is the absolute best cider I've had in a long time. My kids said the pastries were also fresh and delicious. We will come again! read more

On the way to bear valley, my friends and I saw an apple stand and decided we had to stop by on our way home. Best decision ever. All of us bought a jug of apple cider, which was the best cider we've ever had. We also got honey sticks and some pastries. The peach turnover(?) was SO good. My friends and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The stand itself is super cute and sells a variety of things, including local honey, snacks, jams, syrups, etc. The owner happened to be there when we visited, and he was so friendly and welcoming!! He talked to us about where the apples and honey come from and even gave us a few samples!!! We went home with lots of items. We also got strawberry jam, their very popular apple butter, and strawberry syrup. I regret not buying the apple syrup since I wanted to try it, but we will 100% be back whenever we are back in the area. read more

If you have an opportunity on your way into Arnold, stop here for pastries and definitely pick up a frozen holiday pie if it happens to be that time of year. Highly recommend the harvest pie. Apple cider donuts are fresh and delicious! you will eat them like a bag of chips! Of course they are wonderfully friendly. read more

The food was really good, but it was busy and they did not have donuts ready for sale.

Love the red apple! The service was excellent. New management treated us right. Must buy are the donuts, hot apple cider and harvest pie. Get there when the donuts are hot if not don't complain so sad too bad should have not hit snooze! read more

Wow! Such a great little stop from Big Tree park to angels Camp! The people who we met were super friendly and the smell from the baking pies were amazing! We got a cherry pie but they also offer a lot of other fruit pies like blueberry, apple, and others. They have a small fruit stand as well as hot apple cider and nuts and candies. I understand it's so popular that people line up for miles to buy their pies. No wonder! They are fantastic! Don't miss this when you're in the area. It's worth the drive! read more

Humble right-off-the-highway spot and I must say that the apple pie here is one of my faves. The apple pies are made with a variety of apples mixed into them (not just Granny Smith) so each cut slice is different in terms of apple texture and flavor. Very fun apple pies to eat to say the least. The crust is super tender (no dry-crumbly nonsense here). Also, no messing around on the amount of apple filling as the pies are gosh darn heavy! The lady at the bakery counter was probably internally laughing at me as I struggled a little lifting the box with an apple pie in it lol. I weighed the pie myself back at home. Over 4 lbs! Of course I tried the apple cider donuts here as well. As a nitpick I wished that the sugar crystals on them were much more fine but besides that pretty tasty and tender donuts. Very comparable to the apple cider donuts at Boa Vista Orchards in the Placerville Apple Hill region. Overall definitely worth stopping by if you're passing through! read more

Super charming little bakery & fruit stand off Hwy 4. It is truly a *must* go place if you're in Arnold or Murphy. They have AMAZING fresh baked pies (apple, cherry), as well wildly delicious freshly baked apple & blueberry fritters, fruit turnover & their famous apple donuts dusted in cinnamon & sugar. Apples are 6 for $5 & they're literally from tree to tin! They're also SO friendly! read more

We went back again over the weekend and I am so sad to say it was just ok. The apple donuts they are famous for were just oily. Maybe the oil want hot enough but when you bit into one it had a layer of oil just pooled at the bottom of every bite. I am sad to say this will not be a drive out of the way spot for me and the fam anymore. The cider was good but not amazing, the local raw honey $10 was good but the best part was the turnovers they had. Rhubarb/ strawberrry, peach, and apple. I wish I had purchased extra because I doubt I will be back any time soon. Sadness. read more

Bought a berry pie early this week, it was absolutely delicious! The filling was nice and thick and the flavor was perfection! The crust is the same crust I've come to expect, but this filling felt like a big upgrade from previous years. It was very full of fruit, not a lot of goo. Can't wait to try more pies, as perhaps the new owners have improved the fillings. As usual, will be back again for more delicious treats from Red Apple! read more

The apple cider donuts blew it out of the water! We just returned from a trip to Vermont and the ones we had there got nothin' on The Red Apple's. Fresh and warm, they were apple-y and cinnamon-y with a crunchy sugary outside and ultra light inside. 5 stars! Many items were sold out by the time we arrived at 11am on a Sunday, but what we got was fantastic! I loved the harvest turnover which had thick slices of juicy stone fruit inside a light and flaky crust. The Apple fritter had a deep caramel flavor to it too. My bf loves pie and couldn't resist getting one of two of the last apple pies. Haven't dug into that one yet, but I bet it's as good as everything else we got! read more

This place is the best ever. Always has been. Might be under new ownership but they still knock it out of the park every time. My favorite is the blueberry pie (all the pies are amazing though), apple fritters and blueberry fritters, apple donuts, turnovers are out of this world, and the cider never disappoints. Make sure you turn off and stop at the red apple anytime they're open :) read more
