Your One-Stop Apple Cake Shop 🍏🍎

Published about 6 hours agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Toss the big bag of apples in the cart ~ you're going to need them when baking your way through this lineup. Consider it your one-stop apple cake shop.

​Apple Cake Collection​

Apples lend themselves to simple homey cakes, but there are some showstoppers in this lineup for holidays, dinner parties, and birthdays, for sure.

The apple that revolutionized my cooking & baking

The Honeycrisp. It's a modern apple variety bred in Minnesota in the 1960s but only just came on the scene in the 90s. It's ultra-crisp with a super juicy bite, and a clean sweet-tart flavor that stays vivid (and crisp!) after cooking.

My secret: I always toss it with lemon juice which not only prevents browning but amps up the flavor.

I use Honeycrisp in so many recipes, both sweet and savory!

This was amazingly delicious. I made this last night and we were just so excited to find another dish that was easy and simple and taste great. I only boiled enough noodles for 2 and we ate it 2 nights in a row and it was just as good for leftovers.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

grated potato casserole

Hey friends❣️ I may have found it, the perfect side: easy, make-ahead, feeds a crowd, budget-friendly ~ and who doesn’t love a creamy potato situation? The Coziest Grated Potato Casserole This Finnish inspired casserole is a winner, I'll be calling on it all fall. With old school meatloaf, pork chops, and salmon, for sure. With roast chicken it's a no brainer. When it was just my husband and me we were able to portion out leftovers for several meals, it keeps beautifully! The gratin dish...

chocolate cake

Hey friends❣️ They call it a false fall here in the Midwest ~ we had all the crisp weather and cozy feels for the past 2 weeks and now we're warming up. That's fine with me, the tomatoes are still killing it right now and last night I just dumped a pint of tiny rainbow cherries into a screaming hot pan with olive oil and a little garlic and swirled them around for a minute or two. Then I sloshed in some hot salty pasta, added more olive oil and some fresh basil and Parm. Yum. A little bit...
