Ingredients for Apple Cocktail






Ingredients for Pumpkin Pizza
Instructions
Step 1
Start by filling a glass with ice, about two-thirds or halfway full.
Next, pour in the apple juice, followed by the sparkling wine. The combination will create a delightful and refreshing base for your cocktail.
Add a cinnamon stick for a warm spice, and slice a fresh apple to include in the drink for added flavor. For an extra touch, include three portions of Lyte Drops, which will help with hydration and recovery after enjoying your drinks.
Step 2
To create the pumpkin pizza, first roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut it into squares. Ensure that the squares are big enough to hold your delicious fillings.
In the center of each square, add a little bit of sauce, followed by a small amount of ham, pickles, and Mozzarella cheese.
Wrap the pastry around the filling into a ball shape and tie it with cooking twine for a rustic look, ensuring the fillings are secure inside.
Brush the top of each pastry with egg yolk to give it a beautiful golden color once baked.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the pastries for approximately 30 minutes, keeping an eye on them to ensure they are cooked through, as cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pumpkin shapes.
Be careful not to roll the pastry too thin, as this could cause the filling to escape during baking.
Step 3
Once ready, take your pumpkin pizzas out of the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve with your refreshing apple cocktail and enjoy while watching a cozy autumn movie for the perfect seasonal experience.

Variations
Faq
- What type of pumpkin should I use for this recipe?
For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, as they are sweeter and more flavorful.
- How do I ensure my pizza crust is flaky?
Be careful not to roll your dough too thin. Keeping it a little thicker allows for a flaky crust when baking!
- Can I make the cocktail ahead of time?
While you can prepare the apple juice and cinnamon in advance, adding the sparkling elements right before serving keeps it fresh and bubbly!
- What's the best way to store leftover pizza?
Wrap any leftovers in foil and store them in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore that fresh texture.
- What can I use instead of electric drops?
If you don't have Lyte Drops, try adding coconut water or electrolyte-rich sports drinks for a similar effect!
- How can I ensure my sides pair well with this dish?
Keep the sides light and fresh! A crisp salad or roasted vegetables complement the rich flavors perfectly.
