JALAPEÑO POPPER PIGS IN A BLANKET. 🤯 Two of our favorite tailgate foods are finally meeting, and it. just. works. Start by crisping up bacon in the GreenPan elite convection air fry oven, and then mix up the filling. Store-bought crescent rolls make these so easy, and they bake up in less than 15 minutes in this oven. With 16 cooking functions, we love using it for all our Sunday football apps.

APPLE CRISP MACCHIATO. 🍎 CrateKitchen coffee expert is tempting us with this cozy fall latte, perfect for apple-picking season. He whipped it up in the Barista Brew—so foolproof with the temperature gauge on the milk pitcher!

Ethan’s apple crisp syrup recipe 👇

1 c. water
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 c. chopped apples
1 tsp. cinnamon

1. Add ingredients to a saucepan, and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce to a simmer, and let simmer for 15–20 minute until mixture has thickened and apples have softened. Strain mixture into a bowl, pressing down on apples to get all the juices out.

Does anything say fall more than simmering apple cider in a pumpkin cocotte? We like infusing our cider with orange slices, ginger, cinnamon sticks, star anise and allspice for 30 minutes. It’s a cozy afternoon treat that will make your house smell good all day.

Candle runners > table runners. 🕯️ We decided to switch things up this Halloween by decorating our table with 20(!) amber candle holders instead of a traditional runner! Next, we accented it with black tapers and a few of our haunted houses to create a perfect spooky-chic vibe. The glow is wild, y'all. Drop a 🎃 in the comments if you're loving it, too!

Don’t be intimidated by braised short ribs! came to CrateKitchen to show us how easy this dish is to make, and now it’s our new go-to fall dinner. Sear short ribs in a dutch oven, and then blend up your braising liquid in the new Ascent X5 blender. (This machine even has a new spice grinding setting to prep Chef Eric’s spice blend for the meat.) Then simmer away in the oven until the meat is tender.

CHOCOLATE SWIRL PUMPKIN BREAD.🎃Pumpkin season has officially arrived! We are whipping up our new favorite twist on the classic in CrateKitchen, and we love how easy it is to remove from our new silicone bread pan. The secret to the swirl? Less is more. Drag the knife through the batter just a few times to get the best swirled look. Get the full recipe at the link in our bio.

Breaking out our favorite pasta pot for all the delicious fall pasta dishes.🍂 We used the stainless steel multipot for this gnocchi with brown butter, sage and pancetta. The internal colander drains the gnocchi before it goes into the pan with brown butter. (Pro tip: These pots also come with a steamer insert and are great for blanching vegetables, making mashed potatoes, dumplings and other dishes too!)

These spooky cider donut skull cakes are a fun fall baking activity with kids! Assemble your baking staples plus apple cider and applesauce, snag our Nordic Ware skull cakelet pan and get baking. The full recipe is in the link in our bio.

Fall decor…but for all the senses. A simmer pot with apples, lemons and spices might be the best way to get that fall feeling into your house. And we are obsessed with finding another use for our exclusive Le Creuset Thyme dutch oven.

Ready for kickoff! 🏈 Football season is here, and these smoked pulled pork sliders are everything for your game day spread. Using the Smart Indoor Smoker, we smoked a pork shoulder indoors—yes, indoors!—with apple cider and spices for this foolproof recipe. The preset functions make it so easy, and the kitchen stays smoke-free. What else would you make for football season with this smoker? Tell us below!

Smoked Apple Cider Pulled Pork recipe 👇
4-5 lbs pork shoulder
2 c. apple cider
1 c. apple cider vinegar
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Wood pellets (applewood recommended)

1. Prepare the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder with the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Marinate: Place the pork in a large container and pour the apple cider and apple cider vinegar over it. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Smoke: Preheat the GE Profile™ Smart Indoor Smoker. Place the pork shoulder in the smoker and add applewood pellets. Use the preset smoking function for pork.

4. Cook: Smoke the pork for about 6–8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F. The meat should be tender and easy to pull apart.

5. Serve: Shred the pork and mix it with some of the remaining juices. Serve on buns with coleslaw for a delicious fall meal.

Spooky is a whole season, and we can’t wait to eat, drink and be scary. We have everything for a spooky spread, but here’s a pro tip: Our Halloween old fashioned glasses sell out every year. So be sure to get these bat- or ghost-bedecked beauties before they are gone!

Why is no one talking about the endless ways to style glass hurricanes?! ✨ It’s super easy. Here's what we used to create these looks...

1. Our faux oak stems in our Venus hurricane.
2. An apple-picking haul in our London hurricane.
3. Our Monochrome No. 4 Suede candle in our Laila hurricane.

How should we style our hurricanes next? Drop your ideas in the comments! 👇

Our fave tip for maximizing cabinet space! 💪 Keep watching to see how turning every other wine glass upside down can increase any cabinet's capacity by 30%. PS We used our Tour wine glasses here, but it works for coupe glasses and martini glasses, too. Any glass with a stem, really.
