Sweet and Spicy Apple Pecan Coleslaw

Next up for Apple Week is a side dish that is unique and super tasty. Lots of crunch, sweetness and a touch of heat make up this delicious coleslaw. I actually skipped the shredded carrots as you can see, but feel free to add them in for more color if you prefer.
