This Caramel Apple Crisp has it all: tender baked apples, easy homemade caramel, and a flavor-packed oat streusel topping! It pulls out all the (super flavorful) stops and still requires just a fraction of the time and effort of traditional apple pie. Sure, you’ve had Apple Crisp before, and it was probably lovely. But were…
Croissant Sausage Stuffing
Forget everything you thought you knew about stuffing. This Croissant Sausage Stuffing– with its ultra-buttery, herbaceous flavors and flaky, fluffy layers– is changing the Thanksgiving game.

Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread. This is one of my most popular easy recipes, and for good reason. With sweet, fall-spiced apples, fluffy biscuit layers, and a delicious vanilla glaze, this pull-apart bread is always a hit. After making Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread a few years back (don’t tease me for the bad pictures, that post needs to…
Salted Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake
I’m not going to be able to hand out candy tonight because I’ll be in the motherland (AKA South Jersey) celebrating my dad’s very spooky birthday, which will be nice but alsooo a bit of a bummer because I’m totally overzealous about all things Halloween-related, and because I know that there won’t be any Halloween candy…
Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Loin with Apple & Rice Stuffing
This post is sponsored by the jolly fellows over at Minute® Rice. Don’t work yourself into a tiffy over it, though. All thoughts and blooming brilliant opinions are my own. And I definitely always talk like this. Well aren’t I just the most elegant of food bloggers today with my nice wine glasses and beaded cloth…
Maple Brown Butter Glazed Amish Apple Fry Pies
Sometimes, when I’m sitting at my desk, tucked inside of my warm house, with my fuzzy blanket draped over my lap and a hot coffee in hand, I almost forget how it felt to be 14 with frozen fingers. Far before I ever had the luxury of working from home, or even in an office,…
Honey Crisp Apple Salad with Cider Vinaigrette
Did you have a fun weekend? Yeah, I’m really asking– you can tell me all about it in a comment or message me on facebook or get at me on twitter, which I am making a goal to actually use. Or we can just have a faux-convo and fake bond, whatever works for you. We’ve got to…
Walnut-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Gravy
I am so obsessed with this recipe, I wrote a haiku about it. Oh, succulent hog With walnut crust and cider Is this how love feels? …Perhaps not my greatest work of poetry, but the recipe is far better than my writing, luckily. This Walnut-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Gravy is now one of my…
Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Apple Roses
I worked on this all day and night just to be sure I could get it to you today. Why? Because it would be a crime to not give you a recipe for something this good as soon as humanly possible. So here we are. It’s 9AM as I write this and I’m on my fourth…
Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie
I’m firmly convinced that there is no better dessert in this world than Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie. Yes, I said it. I, the fruit skeptic, the haphazard baker, the Thanksgiving-dessert-skipping monster (seriously, who turns down a slice of warm apple pie?!) made this pie twice in one week. It was just that delicious. And…
Cranberry White Wine Punch
I am a heavy proponent of two things at family gatherings: 1) Serving yourself, because the potatoes won’t seem to cook, there are kids running around everywhere, Aunt Terry is discussing conspiracy theories, the potatoes still aren’t done, you can’t remember your third cousin’s name and you don’t know how much longer you can…
Apple Butter BBQ Ribs
I have somewhat of a torrid love affair going on this season with the classic pork and apple flavor combination. Sure, it’s been around forever, but for whatever reason, something about the sudden chill in this year’s air has got me thinking in one direction. (Hint: it’s a direction that involves an entire apple grove and…
