Usually I get sad when summer starts winding down. It’s by far my favorite season. I love everything about it. Autumn is rising in rank however. I used to lump it in with winter and just dislike it entirely. Now, I am getting to a point in my life where I can see the positives in much of what I used to think ill of in my ignorant and naive youth.

Take apple pie for instance. I used to absolutely HATE apple pie. I would still like to question its All-American reputation , but that’s for another time perhaps. It wasn’t longer than a couple weeks ago my wife and I were talking about flavors of Autumn and why we like what we like.

She came up with the idea of pie frys at the very beginning so I guess spiced apple pie frys shouldn’t be considered much of a stretch.

I’m rambling. The point is that my take on apple pie has changed. Who knew all I had to do was add french frys. Along with frys this dish is tossed in butter, spiced with cinnamon & sugar, drizzled with caramel, topped with a house made whipped cream (sometimes I change up the flavors of the whipped cream, its fun) and Nilla Wafers.

Our Spiced Apple Pie Frys are good. They may pair well with an nice bonfire and a glass of whiskey. I’ll get back to you on that. For now though, I can attest that these are great. I just had some myself. I had to make some for a photo shoot and I swear I took terrible photos because I was rushing to get at them.

I hope you like them too.
