You guys! I am so excited to share this Homemade Apple Raisin Coleslaw recipe with you today. Did you ever enjoy a recipe so much at a restaurant that you had to find a way to recreate it at home? Yep. This coleslaw was one of those “I gotta figure out how to make this” recipes. I enjoyed the original at the Rope And Anchor located in the Hilton Penns Landing in Philadelphia a few years ago. It was deee-licious! I even went back for seconds. So, I created my own version and I must say….it’s pretty darn good.

While I firmly believe that coleslaw isn’t just for picnics, you definitely need to save this coleslaw recipe and serve it as a side dish for your next barbecue. Everyone will love it!
