Fall is such a fun time of year. There is always a feeling of magic in the air when the leaves begin to turn their brilliant colors and pumpkins & mums begin to show up on porches all over America! I always love seeing fall scapes on porches or yards. Fall is the perfect time to make something for yourself such as a wreath or piece of art. Here are a few ideas for décor & crafts & a recipe to get you in the spirit!
Let's look at some front porch that are decorated beautifully in Fall décor:
Keep it old fashioned.....a nod to simpler times
Always love bringing in the bright orange to our porches in the Fall!
Timeless.....makes me want to watch an episode of Gunsmoke!
Have a wreath making or pumpkin carving/décor party this season!
And last but not least
We will end this post with a Fall sweet treat:
APPLE FRITTER RINGS
INGREDIENTS
1/2 c plus 2 tb sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 c buttermilk or milk
4 tsp veg oil, plus 2 c for frying
2 lg eggs, lightly beaten
2 c all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour worked perfectly)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
4 med tart apples (such as Granny Smith), cored, peeled, cut into 1/2 inch-thick rings
DIRECTIONS
1.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 c sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl,
whisk milk, 4 tsp oil and eggs. Stir in flour, 2 tb sugar, baking
powder, and salt.
2. In a large, heavy,
high-sided skillet, heat 2 c oil until it registers 375 with a candy
thermometer (or if water spatters when you flick drops of it in). In
batches, coat apples in batter and fry until golden brown, about 4
minutes per batch, flipping halfway through.
3. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Toss apples in cinnamon-sugar and serve immediately. MAKES ABOUT 20.
