Apple Pie Spice Pepitas

It's like being a kid again.

This year, I went out and bought Halloween decorations, pumpkins and a costume.  I love dressing up for Halloween, but that's usually where it ends for celebrating for me.

I've got spiderwebs on my porch, and harvest-themed decorations all over the front of my house.  I've got six pumpkins on my front steps that are hollowed out and carved.  I'm hoping that they will be in jars as pumpkin puree next week.  I've also got some pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, that I collected up and roasted with a few different flavors.

Since I had already done pumpkin spice, I decided to go along the same fall season route and try apple pie with a little cider and some apple pie spice.  It's sweet and a little spicy.  It tastes like fall, like the harvest season.  It tastes like Thanksgiving, like family and togetherness at the holidays!
