Oct 15, 2023 | momtrends.com | Kristin Swenson |Leslie Morrison

It's starting to transition to fall, and that means apple-picking season is upon us. Driving to the local orchard is one of our family's favorite fall traditions. We load up the car and head to Apple Annie's to spend a cool fall morning picking apples and tasting all the apple treats they serve up like apple pancakes, apple cider, and, of course, apple pie! We love their homemade apple cider and always come home with a jug or two. We've jazzed it up a bit for this hot apple cider cocktail.

I'm having a bit of an identity crisis right now...Part of me wants fall to get here already, while the other part of me doesn't really want to let go of summer. Luckily, fall is almost here, but I still have a few weeks left to revel in the magic of summertime. Now even though I'm still rockin' summer outfits and enjoying the balmy weather, that doesn't mean I'm not already indulging in fall inspired recipes.
