Be part of our annual tradition, where the funds from each apple sold provides care to an animal for a day.
Our gourmet apple recipe for humans features a large, tart apple that is covered in homemade caramel from Iowa Orchard then dipped in milk chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate and covered with crushed toffee from Chocolate Storybook.
Made specifically for dogs, our gourmet dog apple is covered in peanut butter and rolled in crushed dog biscuits.
