3 Scrumptious Treats, 3 Fall Flavors: Pumpkins, Apples & Cranberries 

10/25/2016

1 Comment

 
It's the season when pumpkin spiced everything takes over the country. It's also the time of year when apple pies, crisps and warm cider make their rounds. And from now until early December, cranberries are in stock in grocery stores.  

​To help you get into the spirit of the season, here are 3 tried and true treats that both kids and grown ups enjoy.
​  

Warm Pumpkin Spice "Cocoa" - Dairy Free!
​ 

Picture

​Ingredients


​
  • 4 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 Tablespoon molasses
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons honey 


  

 Directions

​
Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed to your preference. Serve it up plain or add some whipped topping. Soyatoo is one dairy free option. If dairy is not a problem for you, then use whatever whipped topping you prefer. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick - Voila!
​ 

Apple Cider in Apple Cups
​ 



​All you need for this are apples, apple cider, and a cinnamon stick!  

Cut the top off the apple, hollow it out with either a spoon or melon baller, fill with apple juice or warm cider and pop in a cinnamon stick "straw" for little ones.

​Cranberry "Applesauce"
​ 

Picture
Directions
Ingredients


  • 7.5 ounces organic cranberries (basically one container or small bag)
  • 1 organic orange – it’s important for it to be organic because you’ll be using the entire orange peel
  • ​6 ounces quality orange juice
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup honey (or agave, or sugar. If you think you will serve it to a toddler or baby under 1 year of age, do not use honey as your sweetener)
Place cranberries in a bowl of water.  The ones that sink are duds and should be discarded.  Sift through with fingers to make sure the floaters are all plump and firm.  Strain liquid and set cranberries aside.  Clean orange well and cut off stem and blossom end.  Now cut orange into wedges. Place cranberries and oranges in a high powered blender or food processor.  Add orange juice and sweetener of choice (I use honey) into blender (or food processor) and blend on high.

Cheers to a Flavorful Fall!
