There are a few other things that mean Fall to me besides outdoors, crisp temperatures and sweaters; apples, apple cider, and candy corn. I was lucky to get some apples from, My SIL, Lori, Mother's apple tree, that was loaded with apples, and I didin't have to pay an admission fee to the orchard. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. With the apples and Apple Cider I made this wonderful Apple Cider Sangria, which is a light refreshing drink with Fall Flavors of apples, pears, and apple cider. There is also a little white wine, I used a Chardonnay, Brandy, and Sparkling Water. Oh, Yum! You combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher, chill, and then indulge. This is a light drink with the apple cider and Sparkling Water, in addition to the booze. If your looking for a light refreshing drink for Fall get togethers, then look no further.
I finally bought my first bag of Candy Corn, but was a bit disappointed, because the only kind of candy corn that I could find, was made in Mexico, really, and honey is listed as the last ingredient, before the food dyes. Yuck! It just doesn't taste like it used to. Have you found any candy corn that tastes like the kind that you had, when you were a kid? Let me know, if you do.
I also made an Apple Crisp for my son doesn't like chocolate. The Apple Crisp is served with Black Raspberry Custard from Ollie's Frozen Custard In Sycamore, IL, the best ever. I'll be posting the recipe for the Apple Crisp soon.
Combine all ingredients together in a pitcher and stir well. Refrigerate for an hour or so (or longer, even overnight, before serving.
Thank you, Rebecca. It is so good.
