You will never eat a more perfect apple than at Amy's.
First, you are idly strolling the streets of downtown Cedarburg. Suddenly you are sidetracked by what can only be described as "The Mecca of Carmel Apples" towering before you. You are in its tractor beam and it is pulling you in. Do you know why? Because there are Caramel Apples with Gummy Worms and Dirt Cake topping, Cashews, Chocolate and Chili Powder, White Chocolate and Apple Pie Spice, Black Forest, the list goes on and on. You have to see it to understand.
That old adage: You're like a kid in a candy shop - it's a literal statement here. You will most likely ping pong between the racks of apples in the front window, tissue in hand, trying to whittle down your apple choice. Don't sweat it babe, you can't go wrong. Each apple is huge in its diameter, they are heavy and dense Granny Smith's and when you cut into them you will find they are in pristine condition with nary a blemish. How they pick such magnificent apples is a mystery to me. Surrounding the luscious apple is a very generous layer of sweet, buttery, rich caramel and if you went for one of the topped apples, another layer of cookies, nuts, spices, candies, etc. Picking up the apples sometimes requires a backhoe due to their heft. One is certainly enough for two people to share, although sharing , eh, its overrated.....
When finally, you pick your apple, you bring it to the checkout counter, and they box it up for you in a perfectly cute bronze, cube. It's so exciting, getting that little cube, I feel like I am getting a birthday present or something. I need to warn you though, most people on their way up to the counter with their apple in hand will no doubt get distracted by the chocolates that flank the walls and grace the glass counter cases. Luckily, I am a mutant who loathes chocolate and therefore am impervious, however I've seen my fair share of patrons unable to resist the chocolate temptations.
The staff is always nice, and jovial. Although, I suspect they have a contact high being surrounded by all that sugar. I like to imagine them swirling around the kitchen like magical pixies making all the candies and apples with a dusting of love and a spoonful of sugar. Shhh, shhhh, shhhh....don't ruin this little break with reality.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away a diet of Amy's apples should make me the healthiest woman alive right?
