You’ve made it to Apple Country! This special place boasts the moderating effects of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment meaning they have the perfect conditions for growing crunch, juicy, all-around-delicious apples.

Apple trees were introduced to Canadian soil around the 1840s. Along the Georgian Bay where large, deep water protects the apples and reduces the chances of late spring and early autumn frosts, apples thrive.

Of course, the best apples don’t necessarily mean the best pies. It takes skill and practice! With an overabundance of apples in the area and some mighty long winters, the folks in this region have had plenty of time to perfect the art of a great apple pie.

Generations of families have taken to the wood-fired oven to refine and trade recipes for their heritage apple pies and frankly, it’s paid off. Today, visitors to the Apple Pie Trail can reap the delicious rewards of generations of apple pie recipes passed down.
