Who Else Wants A Slice Of This Amazing Pie?

I can’t wait to make this incredible pie again! And you know what? I will be making this pie again very soon as Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. I know my holiday dinner guests will be super excited to chow down on this yummy dessert.

And what is that pie, you ask! Well, my friends, this is cider eggnog pie and I guarantee you’re going to love it. You’ve never tasted a creamy pie until you’ve tasted this one, that’s how I feel anyway! I, personally, do not like eggnog but I find that the flavors work perfectly in this dessert.

If you’re worried about the cider, don’t be. It’s not a dominant flavor in this pie at all. In fact, if you’re a big fan of apple cider, you may even want to boost up the flavor by replacing all the liquids in this pie with cider. However, this is one of my all-time favorite pie recipes as is, so I would highly recommend giving this a go at first – before you start making any tweaks!

Move Over Peanut Butter – There’s a New Tasty Spread In Town!

How many of you have tried making apple butter at home? I bet almost all of you have! I’ve made a batch or two over the years, myself, and my whole family enjoys it. This year, however, I felt like trying something different. I still made a small batch of my traditional apple butter but I think this pumpkin spread turned out even better!

Funny how I had never even thought of preparing pumpkin this way before. It makes so much sense now that I’ve tried it! The consistency is perfect, so is the flavor – and you can of course tweak it to your taste.

What’s special about this “butter” is that there’s ginger and honey in it. I think those two give this such a wonderful flavor that it’s impossible to resist. I love having this with my morning toast – and I actually even add this to my oatmeal! I wonder if people would think I’m weird, if I just had this for a snack, straight from the jar with a spoon? Haha!

There’s No Better Time For This Cake Than NOW

I’m pretty proud of my apple trees in the backyard. Wow – that kind of sounded like I had a huge orchard back there, with an overload of shiny, red apples… Haha! I assure you that’s not how it is at all! I have two (that’s right, 2) tiny apple trees that I’ve planted with my own hands, and I’ve watched them grow, year by year, as if they were my babies. One of them is smaller than the other one – the story behind it makes me laugh now, but it wasn’t funny back then!

When I planted those trees, I did everything by the book. Believe me when I tell you, not even a professional gardener could have done a better job! I added supporting sticks, I watered them, I did everything I could to make those little baby trees grow. And then the rabbit came.

That one sneaky rabbit destroyed one of my trees overnight, and I was so mad I swore I would make stew out of it, if I ever caught it in action. Well, I never did, and the next year I planted a new tree (which is why the other one is now smaller).

Quick Tip: Serve with vanilla cream or ice cream!

No, you can’t really call them healthy, but these Baked Caramel Apple Cider Doughnuts are delicious. They’re kind of like caramel apples in softer doughnut form–a great treat for fall. I normally prefer the fried doughnuts, even though they are less healthy than the baked ones, but these really are good! They’re certainly a lot better than any store-bought baked doughnuts that I’ve ever had.

If you don’t have a doughnut pan, you can use a muffin pan and just make these into muffins. They’ll taste great, either way. I have to say, for baked doughnuts, these are rather soft and moist. I’m guessing that the generous amount of butter in the dough helps, not to mention all of that heavy cream in the glaze – mmm, so good! I really am a sucker for that caramel apple flavor, and the fact that these are a lot easier to eat than actual caramel apples doesn’t hurt.

Quick tip: If you don’t want to use cinnamon, you can use nutmeg instead. Just cut the amount in half.

This New England Apple Cider Cake has all of the great flavors for fall. Apple and cinnamon lovers will go wild! It takes 20 minutes to prep and about an hour to bake. Not only do I make this cake in the fall and winter, but I also enjoy it during the warmer months as well. And really, who wouldn’t?

Mmm, apple and cinnamon… your kitchen will smell really nice when this is in the oven. Of course, this cake tastes really nice, too. And though you have to be careful when and how you use Granny Smith apples, they work beautifully in this recipe. This is a great cake for any occasion – especially for potlucks or family gatherings, as it’s easy to just double the ingredients for a larger crowd!

Quick Tip: I enjoy eating this cake with vanilla bean ice cream.

This Easy Pumpkin Cake may well be the easiest and fastest baking dessert treat you make for the holidays or any special occasion. It features an Apple Cider Glaze that itself is rather easy to throw together and brings an extra helping of delicious sweet spiciness to the recipe.

Pumpkin isn’t just for pumpkin pie; yellow cake mix isn’t just for basic yellow cake; and apple cider isn’t just for drinking. They combine nicely to form a simple but delicious cake that will go nicely with any other seasonal treat or with your special dinner menu. Just make sure you have the recipe at hand – your family and friends will be begging you for it!

Quick tip: This cake is delicious even without the glaze – try serving it warm with some vanilla ice cream!

If you want a dessert for fall (or the holidays), you should try these Apple Cider Doughnuts. They have a nice fruity flavor and a rich blend of sweet cold-weather spices.

Hey, normal glazed doughnuts are delicious, but sometimes, you want something a little different. If you want something with a bit of holiday flavor but don’t really feel up to making a cake or pie, these apple cider doughnuts are a good go-to option.
