There are plenty of signs that fall has officially arrived, but nothing seals the deal quite like a fresh apple cider donut. The only problem? Truly great ones are relatively hard to find in our neck of the woods.

Fortunately, local donut lovers don't have to look too far. Tucked away just outside of Sioux Falls in Harrisburg, Country Apple Orchard has mastered the recipe, serving up soft, flavor-packed cider donuts that are worth making a special trip for.

To track down these prized fall treats, you only need to head just a few miles south of Sioux Falls. Country Apple Orchard in Harrisburg has become the go-to spot for local fall festivities, from pumpkin picking to wagon rides. But for anyone with a sweet tooth, the real main attraction sits right at the concession stand: a fresh supply of warm, cinnamon-sugar-dusted apple cider donuts.

While Country Apple Orchard has so many things to offer a family for the fall season (like the corn-pit, combine slide, and funny farm petting zoo), the cool thing most people don't realize: the orchard actually partners with the Dough Depot, a local Sioux Falls pop-up bakery. So, while you're enjoying them out in Harrisburg over the weekend, you're getting a true local treat baked right here in our own backyard.
