Don't throw away those apple cores. They can be repurposed to create a delightful apple-infused water. Just slice up a few apples, cores included, and add them to a pitcher of ice water, in no time at all, you'll have a refreshing, flavorful drink to enjoy.

I didn't like this recipe. The gizzards were too chewy, and the flavors didn't come together as I thought.

A surprising blend of flavors with a nice crunch from the poppy seeds. Worth trying if you're feeling adventurous.
