Fall is a time for cozying up by a fire, flannel shirts, apple picking, and comfy sweaters. But more importantly, fall has some of the best flavors and spices to add to your drinks. Fall is my favorite time of year to experiment with different festive drinks, and these will be the hit at your next fall party or Thanksgiving dinner.

    Chop the two apples into cubes. Set aside 1/2 of the apples in a separate bowl. Add the sliced apples into a bowl with the vodka and caramel and set aside. (You can let the apples soak in the vodka to get more of a caramel apple vodka flavor.)
