I was searching for general fall recipes when I came across apple sujeonggwa. Sujeonggwa is a cinnamon and ginger punch which is typically flavored with dried persimmon. The recipe I followed suggested apple chips as an easier to find substitute. The drink was extremely good both hot and cold (the traditional way). The best way I can describe the flavor is a spicy (from the ginger) brown sugar cinnamon pop-tart. The pine nuts were my favorite part as they added texture and complemented the spices' flavor perfectly.

It was also perfect timing because my friend hosted a dumpling making party the day after I made the punch. I brought it and some apple jack to make a simple fall cocktail. The party was a ton of fun! I got to practice my dumpling making skills, share some drinks and even bring some dumplings home.
