“Apples and caramel are a classic combination that reminds me of fall. The cake itself is moist and tender with chunks of apple in each bite. There's a hint of cinnamon that makes the kitchen smell like fall. It's the perfect cake for the thick, buttery and sweet salted caramel glaze. A beautiful fall dessert.” - Kitchen Crew With this fall-tastic dessert you should grab a medium-dry Riesling which pairs amazingly with caramel, cinnamon and walnuts. As for red, a Valpolicella Ripasso (yes, that’s a real name), which is an oaked red that goes with walnuts, caramel and cinnamon sooooo good.

“We can see why this is a champion cherry pie. It is sweet and tart, with a soft oozing cherry center... just heavenly. The golden and flaky crust is also pretty easy to make. A great dessert when fresh cherries are in season. Yum!” - Debbie A yummy dry Pinot Gris or dry Sauvignon Blanc are the white wines you want to drink. If you’re more #teamred, then go for a blended, oaked and dry Merlot. These wines will pair well with the cherry.

“This was surprisingly easy and fun to make, and the flavor is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Plus, I had enough left over after making both rum filled and non-alcoholic versions to make some almond bark and mint bark. Be careful not to make the balls too big, and chop the nuts very fine so it will mix up well. The hint to put water on your hands is very helpful. incredible recipe! A real keeper.” - Sheri What does one eat with a chocolate covered pecan pie ball? If you’re a fan of red wine, go for an oaked and dry cabernet sauvignon. More a fan of white wine, grab a glass of oaked and dry chardonnay. Both pair great with the pecans, bourbon and maple syrup!
