Best Apple Pie Cookies
It’s National Apple Pie Day! I could have made an apple pie to celebrate but I thought it would be fun to do something slightly different so I found a recipe for apple pie cookies! Making the apple filling was very easy and I love breaking down apples in butter and sugar because it makes…

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
Happy Easter! I’ve always seen people make Hot Cross Buns during Easter and wanted to try them but haven’t had a chance before now. I found these Chocolate Hot Cross Buns and thought it would be nice for a first try, even if I’m not following a traditional recipe. I’ve been following Fragolelimone on Instagram…

Lucky Charms Cookies
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I decided to change things up a little and try these Lucky Charms Cookies! While I’m more of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch kind of girl, these looked fun and festive! This recipe isn’t very difficult, which is nice. The most time consuming aspect was sorting the cereal. It’s a pretty…

Hidden Heart Loaf Cake
I’ve always thought recipes that have something hidden on the inside were fun looking. My husband did a checkerboard cake once but I don’t think I’ve ever tried something like this myself. It’s not really difficult to make either of the cakes. I did have to look up “butter spread” though because while I suspected…

Apple Strudel
Apple strudel can be tough to make since the tough is meant to be super thin (apparently you’re supposed to be able to read a newspaper through it. There’s a lot that can go wrong with apple strudel so we decided to use an America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) version. Instead of stressing with making the…

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins
I have several friends who have gluten allergies so I’m always trying to find recipes they’ll be able to enjoy. I may have said this before, but when I first started baking gluten free baked goods it was really frustrating because I couldn’t find a lot of actual gluten free recipes so I was having…

Apple Cider Muffins
Thanks to the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, most people think of pumpkin flavored stuff when it comes to fall. I like pumpkin things, but I prefer apple and/or cinnamon sugared baked goods in the fall. When I was younger we would always stop by a local apple orchard each week on our way home…

Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
I had too many fun fall bakes I wanted to make this month so I decided to post a little more often this month. My grandfather really likes apple cakes so I thought it would be fun to try this Apple Spice Cake. I’ll start off by saying I did half the recipe and felt…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 11: King Cake
Before I begin talking about the recipe I feel like I should give a disclaimer. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat king cake before Epiphany (Jan 6) because it’ll bring you bad luck. I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I…

Overnight Panettone
Last year during my 12 Days of Christmas Baking I made Panettone for the first time and it failed quite miserably. I was determined to try again and made sure I bought the large molds since using the smaller ones last year potentially made things a little more difficult. I’m honestly not sure what all…
