When the announcement of the September Makeover came out I had no idea what to do with apples, but then I got to thinking…I knew I wanted to put a Cajunlicious spin on it and then it came to me….put apple bits in beignets and wow they are delicious!

Did you have them with a big cup of chicory coffee? I remember that from my visit to New Orleans.
