For over a century, The Red Apple has stood as a beloved landmark on Highway 4, just outside Murphys, CA. Located on the historic Darby Farm, which dates back to the 1890s, The Red Apple has been a pillar of the community since at least the 1930s, when it began selling doughnuts and pies made from fresh apples grown in the surrounding orchard.

 

Today, owners proudly carry on that legacy, holding trays of freshly made apple cider doughnuts that embody the spirit of homemade tradition. The roadside fruit stand and bakery, at 4950 CA-4 in Murphys, specializes in homemade apple pies and apple cider doughnuts crafted from scratch with care. From crisp, mountain-grown apples to hand-pressed cider, every pie, pastry, and doughnut is lovingly made using classic techniques that honor our roots while embracing creativity.

 

The bakery is always filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked homemade goodness, made with love, passion, and dedication. Whether it’s a warm apple pie, a flaky pastry, or a refreshing glass of cider, every bite and sip reflects our commitment to quality and authenticity. Welcome to The Red Apple, where everything is homemade and every taste is a tradition.
