Ghee’s Old-Fashioned Apple Pie
“My mother (my kids called her Ghee) was a from-scratch baker. To save time, I use a frozen pie crust. This was one of her favorite pies to prepare for all of us. My mother passed away over 7 years ago, but when I prepare this recipe, I am transported back to her kitchen with her love surrounding us.” – Patti

Pumpkin Spice Filled Cupcakes

“I wanted to experiment with my pumpkin cheesecake, so I added a layer of Biscoff spread to the top, and it was wonderful! – Cara
Aunt Essie’s Apple Brownies

Apple Cranberry Crisp
“My German brother-in-law loves any dessert with apples. So when he comes over or when I go to visit him, my sister-in-law and I make this yummy dessert! Sometimes I add crushed amaretto cookies to the top of the crisp for an Italian twist.” – Rose Ann
Cider Basted Apple Dumplings
“This recipe is a version of my husband’s Mom-Mom Bessie’s recipe. She made the best apple dumplings. Of course, she had no measurements and just dumped the ingredients. I was lucky enough to have spent a few days with her in her kitchen to learn how she made some of her wonderful dishes. These apple dumplings are the closest I could get to hers.” – Susan

Cinnamon Swirl Bundt With Pecan Brown Butter Glaze

“This is my German friend Hilda’s mother’s recipe for Blitzkuchen mit Apfeln (German apple cake). It’s a very old one. I have enjoyed this at her home many times and it’s a keeper. Don’t shy away from this recipe. I am sure you will enjoy it and want a second helping.” – Nancy

Caramel Apple Turnovers With Mascarpone
“What to do when you have a bunch of leftover puff pastry and more apples than you can eat? Make turnovers!!!! That’s what I did. This recipe is based on the same recipe I made with my Black Cherry turnovers earlier. Made my own caramel again, but this time it is a lovely apple-flavored caramel. The air in Florida is just starting to get that fall feeling. Apples and cinnamon inside of puffy pastry are exactly what I think I need to get into the season coming.” – Maggie May

Caramel Apple Crisp Bars
“Apple crisp bars drenched in caramel and topped with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream!” – Kevin
