*NEW* Apple Crumble Tart – $4.50

Unfortunately this felt like all the flavors did not come together. The apples were a bit undercooked and were too firm to enjoy.

The cinnamon flavor was overwhelming here. The crust was fine, however. Overall this menu option was ok but not something we’d get again.

*NEW* Apple Chips (Gluten/Wheat Friendly) – $4

These are your typical dried apples, nothing remarkable here. Skip these unless your kid wants them.

Frozen Apple Pie – $4.50

*NEW* Cinnamon Apple Cider (Non-Alcoholic) – $3.75

This tastes almost exactly like apple juice. If you like your cider sweet, this is okay, but this is too sweet for our personal tastes.

This doesn’t really taste much cinnamon, but it’s possible that our taste buds were already overwhelmed by the cinnamon in the tart above.

It’s served in a plastic souvenir mule cup that you get to keep. There are a bunch of mini marshmallows on top. We couldn’t quite determine the taste at first. It’s sweet and fruity. We thought it was a little bit like rum, but it’s got a strong apple flavor. The marshmallows are a little strange, but they work, oddly enough. The Apple Fanta, ginger beer, and maple syrup make it sweet, like a green apple candy flavor, but not overly sweet. The brandy is very noticeable. It’s certainly one of the more unique options at the festival.

Beer Flight – $9.75

Cider Flight – $9.75
