Apple Season Cooking – A Hands-On Fall Feast!

Thursday, November 6
$95.00

Celebrate the crisp, cozy flavors of fall in this hands-on cooking class led by Chef Gina! Using the season’s star ingredient — the beloved Honeycrisp apple — you’ll learn to craft a delicious autumn-inspired menu from scratch.

Get ready to chop, stir, and savor as you create:

Menu:

Honeycrisp Apple Harvest Salad – A fresh, vibrant starter with seasonal greens and sweet-tart crunch

Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops – Juicy, savory chops kissed with a rich apple cider reduction

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Apples – A cozy, caramelized side that brings sweet and savory together

Caramel Apple Crumb Cake – A decadent finish that captures fall in every bite

Whether you’re an experienced home cook or just getting started, this class is all about learning new techniques, enjoying great food, and making memories around the table. Come hungry — and leave with the skills to recreate this fall feast at home!
