Pumpkin Spice or Apple Cider, which is your fall flavor?

Basic Bitches, we all know them, we may love them. Hell at some point, depending who you ask, I may or may not have been married to one. I will however neither confirm nor deny it, cause MIND YA BIZNASS we not here to talk about me, we are here to talk basic bitches who love them some fall flavors!  Yeah that’s right, It’s September so you know what that means, the secret fight of Pumpkin Spice everything vs Apple Cider Flavoring. Okay there is not really a fight, one is way more popular when anyone thinks fall and I may just be trying to stir the fall flavoring pot but you gave me the spoon so here we go!

Once August hits, you see the stores and chains slowly and sneaky like rolling out the pumpkin spice everything from lattes to cookies and all these basic people just start squealing  “Pumpkin Spice it’s a viiiibbbbeee”.  But here is the thing, IT GOT NOT PUMPKIN IN IT! It’s just a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and depending on if you want to get whimsical a dash of allspice.   It is literally the mix of spices you add to pumpkin to make pumpkin pie.  With a name like Pumpkin Spice you would think “ Oh there is Pumpkin in there”, but you are wrong, so sit down.   I swear my social media feeds have been dominated by it and it is just annoying. I can’t escape it, I’ve got 6 orders for pumpkin spice flavored items and when I mention adding actual pumpkin they freak out! I’m like so you like the stuff that flavors the fruit but not the fruit itself? And for those of you who did not know that pumpkin is technically classified as a fruit because it starts out from a flower, well I just taught you something so you are welcome!  So don’t get mad at me when you ask for pumpkin spice cookies or cupcakes and I'm like so you just want spice cake. SPICE CAKE people.  Hell let’s add some carrots and call it Carrot cake but we won’t go down that rabbit hole right now, maybe later, remind me okay.  In social media terms It’s like those memes making fun of people who are like “Oh this fireball flavored item is amazing” and someone says “It’s called Cinnamon Brenda.”  

I know you ask yourself “But why would a gorgeous and talented baker such as yourself” , and thank you for such kind words, “ be so against it?” I’ll tell you I’m more of a Apple Cider Red Headed Nun myself, and guess what that has actual cider, I mean APPLE, yeah I Said APPLE.  I love the yearly traditions of me and my best friend just going to the orchards picking apples and getting fresh made cider or having a warm out the oven cider muffin.  What makes Apple Cider taste so yummy you ask, well it’s of course the yummy mixture of Apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. It’s so tasty and very specifically a flavor I think of as fall.  Apple Cider drinks, apple cider donuts, apple cupcakes, hell you can use the mixture to make some yummy Apple Pie even if that floats your boat. Plus you can get hard cider if you are an adult, and drink responsibly people. 

What’s the face for? Yes, I’m talking to you, the one standing there with the smug face thinking “Those Spices are the same” And you would be wrong so shut up.  One, the actual fruit was used, and B did you see me mention ginger, nope, so totally different! In fact my best friend, a genius six year old many of you know as Lord Little Man, agrees with me and whatever he says is fact and will stand in any court of law.  

I could go all day about this but I got some apples waiting to be stuffed, yeah I said stuffed. So let me ask you, what side are you one?  Pumpkin Spice or Apple Cider? And If I see you say that you like Apple Pie Spice items, well I’m just gonna throw a cupcake at your head. Ask James, it happens.

Grapefruit cider? Took me a few sips to get into. Yes Jeff, you are wrong again! Has a very good grapefruit taste, not too sour, or sweet. Deelish 😋👍✌️ #ciderlover #ciders #cider #hardapplecider #hardcider #apple #apples https://www.instagram.com/p/B-H0OEFANbs/?igshid=osntmxyk4310

Looking for a new cider try, I stumbled upon this. Angry orchard unfiltered hard cider! I didn't know they made one, so decided to buy this. It is about semi-dry, a little less sweet than their crisp apple, but, a little lacking with me,,, not sure what,, it's good but, I prefer DownEast unfiltered, has better apple taste in my opinion. Good try though Angry orchard 👍👍 ✌️ 3.5 out of 5 #hardcider #apple #apples #hardapplecider #cider #ciders #ciderlover https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XSZm8gMU_/?igshid=fg2wmc6xcuj8

Nothing quite like drinking local (and local-ish!) 😋 Snagged some 1911 hard cider from Mac’s Tavern at the Farm at Minard's Family Farm this past weekend. If you’re a cider drinker, let me tell you— this stuff is GOOD! Don’t sleep on this Onondaga-crafted apple-y goodness. 😉 We might have to make a trip up to this Syracuse-area distillery for a tour and tasting. 🍏 🍎 1911 Established #newyorkdistillery #newyorkbrewed #newyorkdistilled #hvgoeats #hardcider #hardapplecider #1911applecider #1911hardcider
