not vegetarian appropriate....Apple Cider Hot Dogs!

This is something I meant to post weeks ago, but unfortunately, things came up and I never had the chance. Apple Cider Hot dogs are something of a childhood memory for me. The apple orchard we used to visit every fall to gather baskets of apples for pies, sauce, and crumbles would have these dogs for sale by the parking lot. It was an unwritten rule that you couldn't leave without eating an apple cider hot dog, or getting apple donuts (I wish I had the recipe for those!) 

Anyway, these are incredibly easy to make. 

Ingredients: 

Hot Dogs

Buns

Apple Cider

Onions

Peppers (optional)

Mustard

  First you put a pot of apple cider on the stove and bring it to a boil. We added the red pepper directly to the boiling apple cider. 

You x-cut or puppy tail the hot dogs before dropping them into the boiling cider. This way, when the ends separate you know they are done. 

After that, its really a personal choice on topping, but the best way is chopped onions, red peppers, and french's yellow mustard. 

If you like the hot dogs a little crispier, just throw them under the broiler after they boil!
