Living on Cloud Nine: Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Giveaway

We officially ushered in Fall this week and with it came the crisp morning air and the cravings for all things Apple, Pumpkin, and Football! I finally feel like I can wear my riding boots with confidence and decorate the porch with mums, scarecrows and pumpkins. A few hints of orange-ish hues are in the trees and when a leaf crunches beneath my feet, I smile! I hope your weekend is filled with lots of smiles!!!

1. APPLE PIE PUNCH & CARAMEL APPLE BARS
Apples in all there glory to make this:

1 apple, chopped or sliced
1 quart apple cider
2 cups pear nectar
24 ounces ginger ale
Apple pie vodka (optional) and One brand is Pearl.
*If you can't find Apple Pie Vodka, Caramel Vodka is also delicious in this drink!
Combine apple cider, pear nectar, and ginger ale. Stir well. Place apple slices inside pitcher.
Pour over ice and serve! If you're wanting to serve it warm, heat all of the liquid ingredients in a pot over a stove on low heat. Simmer for a few minutes until warm, place apple slices in the pot, and serve in mugs.
*If you're craving an alcoholic drink, add one shot (1.5 ounces) apple pie vodka to each individual drink, or 1 - 1½ cup to entire pitcher
