Despite the warm weather this past weekend, the leaves at peak color are showing us that we are certainly in “prime time fall”. According to the DNR fall color finder, we have reached 75-100% of color in our area. There is no better time to enjoy apples, and feeling warm and cozy as the Minnesota seasons begin to prepare us to settle in for a gentle, relaxing winter (we can dream, right?) We wanted to share some of the favorite recipes that we are cooking up at the B&B right now.
Can you just imagine the apple scents drifting into your room as you wake up and admire the fall colors reflecting off of Pokegama Lake? If you’re missing us and not able to come visit soon, we wanted to share some of our favorite recipes to help you bring a little bit of our “fall flavor” into your home.
Not sure you can ever have too much apple crisp or too many slices of apple pie, but keeping with the less sweet and super easy theme give this cake a try…
Grease a bundt pan ( it is a Minnesota cookbook after all)
We love apple cider, but not so sugary sweet. I tone it down with cranberry juice and a black tea bag. Imagine we’ll be making lots now that Chris found presses he likes!
We love recipes that have very few ingredients and can be put together in a snap. This is a “small bite” that has been loved every time I serve it. Pairs nicely with a Riesling or hot mug of apple cider. It comes from the Oct. 2014 issue of Food Network Magazine.
Makes 6 to 8 slices.
