A Dry Lambrusco?! Well, yes please......#ItalianFWT

 I have a confession to make....When Susannah of Avvinare invited us to join her in opening a bottle of Lambrusco this month, I was not very excited.  In fact, I thought about sitting this one out.  

I'm not crazy about sparkling wine, however I do enjoy it on occasion but I seldom, if ever, enjoy a sweet wine and I thought with Lambrusco I would be getting a double whammy.

But National Lambrusco Day is coming up and I love joining this group so I went onto Wine.com and was excited to find a dry Lambrusco.........

Caramel Apple Ice Cream Pie #FallFlavors

Disclosure:  I received sponsor products for use in creating recipes for this week's Fall Flavors Event.  All thoughts and opinions are strictly my own.  I received no monetary compensation for this post.

Ginger Graham Cracker crust filled with ice cream and apples.  This no bake pie is the perfect end of summer leading into fall treat.

Don't let the photo scare you.  I made this pie for a gathering on an extremely hot day.  By the time I got the pie cut and served, my piece had started melting and I had failed to get a photo of the first slice of pie.

That's what happens when a blogger like me actually makes food for family and friends to eat and enjoy instead of just for blogging purposes.

Welcome to Day 1 of Flavors of Fall Week.......
