Come Party With Me: Pumpkin Carving — Drinks
Not only is my annual pumpkin carving party about creating cool pumpkins, it's also about celebrating the flavors of Fall.
To get people in the mood to party, I'll be pouring a potent punch made from pear nectar and sparkling apple cider. It's fruity, bubbly, and refreshing — what more could you ask for in a punch?
Yummy Link: Apple Cinnamon Madeleines
I recently found a random madeleine pan in my cupboard. It reminded me that I promised a friend I would make her madeleines over a year ago! I was looking for a recipe when I came across this one for delicious looking apple and cinnamon madeleines.
Do We Really Need a Grape/Apple Hybrid?
I've seen Grapples — grape-flavored apples — in the store for a few years, and FitSugar actually wrote about them last year, but I'd never actually tried one before. I've kinda been snobby about it and thought they were ridiculous. However, recently, a friend of mine became addicted to them.

Ready to Try the World's Best Apple Pie?
Because I haven't been a huge pumpkin pie fan until extremely recently, I've tried to take advantage of Fall's other stellar produce to end the season's celebrations on a sweet note. Like everyone says, there's nothing more American than apple pie. To that I'd like to add: there's nothing that exemplifies Autumn more than the smell of a baked-from-scratch apple pie.
Happy Hour: Apple Cidercar
After declaring I'd discovered the perfect Fall cocktail last week, I was worried I'd have nothing to look forward to. But surprisingly, my success had the opposite effect: I was inspired to go in search of other tipples that glorify the season's bounty.
Right now, it's impossible to wander the farmers market without being smitten by frosty jugs of freshly pressed apple cider.
Coming Soon: Apples That Don't Rot?
Can you imagine leaving a piece of fruit in the crisper and being able to take a bite out of it after four months? That's the idea behind a new variety of apple that's being tweaked by researchers at Queensland Primary Industries. The RS103-130, as it's called, can stay fresh for at least 14 days without refrigeration, and keep in a refrigerator for four months.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Pork Chops With Apples
The classic pork chops and applesauce go sophisticated with this recipe. Instead of bone-in pork chops and pureed apples, it employs boneless pork loin and whole Granny Smith apples.
The apples are sautéed until soft and the pork is topped with a simple pan sauce.
Brined, Bourbon-Glazed, Spice-Rubbed Turkey Is Deliciously Juicy
Last year, after reading countless turkey recipes, I finally decided on one from a somewhat unexpected source: Every Day With Rachael Ray. I didn't follow the method exactly — the magazine's recipe grills a turkey breast and I roasted a whole turkey — but I used the brine, spice rub, and glaze recommended. The resulting turkey, with a fiery brown color and slightly charred skin, was fabulously moist and super flavorful.
Happy Hour: Happy Apple Rum Twist
This October, instead of being bummed about Summer's departure, I've decided to get excited for Fall. I've changed the background on my phone to an image of autumnal flowers, I've searched FabSugar for Fall-look inspiration, I've decorated my house with white pumpkins, and most importantly, I've starting sipping this apple cocktail.
Apples are a quintessential ingredient at this time of year, thus a stimulating concoction made with apple cider and dark rum seems seasonally appropriate.
Apple Dumpling Day
You may not be overcome with excitement, but today is National Apple Dumpling Day. Dumplings are an incredibly old food known to cooks in many countries, cuisines, and cultures. Simply put, a dumpling is a globular mass of boiled, steamed dough filled with meat, vegetables, or fruit.
