Apple Dumpling Days

Date(s): 10/11/2024 - 10/12/2024
Time: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Apple Dumplings—those tasty apples wrapped in pastry and covered in sweet cinnamon syrup —  are returning to Historic Ephrata Cloister to help raise funds for the Back to the Cloister Fund. Proceeds from this annual event allow the Cloister to compete with private collectors and other institutions on the open market for original items made at the Cloister.

The apple dumplings, made by Achenbach’s in Leola, will be available for purchase for $5.50 each at the drive-through tent beside the Museum Store at Historic Ephrata Cloister on Friday, October 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 12, from 9:00 a.m. until sold out. There is no guarantee supplies will last until the end of the day on Saturday, so plan to make your purchases early. 

There is no need to pre-order; however, orders can be made online and pre-paid at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/ephrata-cloister-associates/apple-dumplings-sales-535173747 

Free delivery is offered for pre-orders of 20 or more within 10 miles of the Ephrata Cloister. Contact ephratacloister@gmail.com to make delivery arrangements. No admission to the museum is required to purchase apple dumplings. The sale will be held rain or shine.
