I mentioned Tuesday that my neighbor had given me a ton of apples and they were on the verge of going bad so I wanted to make something that would use them all up so I didn't miss out on the apple goodness. I just went to cracker barrel over the weekend and their apples are one of my favorite things, so I thought that would be the perfect way to use these up and make a version of them at … Read More
Caramel Apple Layer Cake
Recently my neighbor had someone give her a ton of apples from a local orchard and she generously shared them with me. I was going back through recipes that I have saved over the years and came across this cake that I always say I'm going to try and just never have. I am so sad that I am just now trying this cake.

What's even better about this side dish is that … Read More
Peach Cobbler Muffins
So I know peaches are on their way out, but I couldn't resist one more peach recipe before the summer comes to a close.

They have a great texture and the streusel you put on top kind of melts into the muffin and creates a nice sweetness on top. These would be a great breakfast treat for back to … Read More
