Apple Pie Hill is a hill in Tabernacle Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. It is 205 feet (62 m) tall, making it one of the highest points of the New Jersey Pine Barrens.[2] A 60-foot-tall (18 m) fire tower stands atop the summit.[3] It lies along the Batona Trail in Wharton State Forest, making it a popular hiking destination. On September 10th, 2016, The Department of Environmental Protection closed Apple Pie Hill to public access by erecting a fence around the tower. [4]
Soils are sandy almost everywhere, with profiles that resemble classic podzol development; Atsion, Lakehurst, Lakewood, and Woodmansie are common soil series.[5]
