Fall has arrived! Well, maybe not officially, but the weather here in North Dakota has decided that it’s time for fall. I’m not complaining though. I love fall. Most especially though, I love apples – apple cider, candy apples, applesauce, bobbing for apples, picking apples, and basically all apple recipes. It’s not really fall without all these goodies.

Probably my absolute favorite way to spend a chilly fall day is curled up by a fire, with a cup of hot cider, a plate of cookies within reach, and a good book. In order to get this ideal scene though I’ve got to do a little bit of work. I WISH I could go to an apple orchard and pick my own apples, but as far as I’ve been able to find, there aren’t any near me – for that matter I don’t see any in the whole state. So since I can’t get my apples fresh off the tree personally, I do the next best thing – I grab some apple products from Walmart.

Motts and M&Ms at Walmart #FlavorofFall #shop #CollectiveBias

Yes, we sure did find some Candy Apple m&m’s. These became the inspiration behind the Candy Apple Cookies made with Motts Natural Apple Sauce. We also picked up some of Motts Apple Juice to create a quick and easy Cider. Enjoy the #FlavorofFall with the following recipes.

Now if you are making these with your kids and an electric mixer, remember one thing – make sure it’s off before you plug it in. Or you might end up like this

Oh these cookies and cider were so good. The kids especially thought it was fun dipping cookies into caramel. It adds a fun little mix to regular old cookies, and they are packed full of fall flavors.

 
I can’t let the school kids miss out too much though, so I picked up some small juice drinks to pack in their lunches as well. Got to get them enjoying the new season as well.

  1. Oooh I love both of these recipes! I love the way apple cider makes your home smell when you cook it! And those cookies… what a great idea! I did not even know candy apple m&m's existed. My 2 year old has been craving m&m's lately so I may have to cave and try these. Thank you so much for linking up at Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays. I'll be pinning this to the Tasty Tuesdays Board as well as my own personal Cookie board and sharing on Facebook. Hope you have a great week!
