Love Creek Orchards is on TX 16, very near the intersection of FM 337. On clear autumn and winter weekends, there's often a lot of people stopped here for good reason, the apple pie is heavenly. (Photo by Valerie Asensio)

If you’re looking for a great fall and winter Hill Country destination, Love Creek Orchards in Medina is highly recommended. It’s on TX 16, in the heart of golden triangle of Hill Country riding. They grow apples on site, and they bake apple pies and fried pies and make all sorts of delicious treats from their apples. It doesn’t get much better than this pie-wise, so we dubbed it “Apple Pie World Headquarters.”
