Like autumn in a glass.
, in sixth grade history class, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Maybe it's the bizarre name , but a seafaring conflict full of pirates and corsairs battling over, of all things, debt ownership, is too fascinating to forget.
These were the lessons that made going back to school every fall so tolerable. So to commemorate the beginning of autumn, 215 years of the Quasi-War's conclusion, and sixth grade history classes everywhere, I've mixed together a mash-up of the colonial United States, revolutionary France, and some fall apples for good measure.
We begin with the classic American spirit: Laird's Apple Brandy. The Laird family was actually making applejack at the time of the Quasi-War; the brandy they make today is 100 proof strong and bottled-in-bond. Matched against it is Mandarine Napoléon liqueur, supposedly first created for Napoleon himself . The Mandarine Napoléon is a luscious, sweet liqueur infused with real mandarin oranges, best diluted in a longer drink to add some body without overwhelming the palate.
We muddle in some freshly picked apples to give it a touch of sweetness , and add some Spanish oloroso sherry for some sweet nuttiness to keep the drink in check, and some sparkling wine to tie all the elements together. The apple and orange aromas remain distinct in your glass, but the whole cocktail comes together as a balanced appreciation of all of fall's flavors. In this version of historical events, everyone wins.

This Rustic Apple-Cranberry Pie Is So Darn Easy it Doesn't Even Need a Pie PlateNot much can trump a freshly made fruit pie with homemade pie dough. But let's be honest, few of us ever feel like making one. For me, a rustic pie—if you want to be fancy you can call it a galette—is a heck of a lot less stressful and no less satisfying. This one has a deep, concentrated apple flavor dotted with tart cranberries and a warm, flaky crust that doesn't get soggy as it sits.
