Nothing says fall more than a hot fresh apple pie.  We love a fresh spin on it with a few pears thrown in!  Perfect for a fall weekend afternoon or as a dessert!  We think it “pears” well with a sparkling wine.  Our local favorite with the pie is Sparkling Point Brut Seduction with its lovely berry flavors.

Keep Life Delicious!
