Colorful recipes with seasonal food
Candy apples are a Halloween staple. They are super inexpensive, fairly easy, and always look sooooo shiny and cool. I did black this year for Halloween as a Poison Apple – which would work well for a snow white theme as well. You can make your candy apples any color you like! Just add your…
This is a little twist on a classic apple pie. I want to start off by saying if you make something in a muffin tin which has a pie crust THEY ARE NOT CALLED MINI PIES. Okay? They are called tarts. I will fight you on this. I’d like to also mention that these tarts are…
I have wanted to make this pie FOREVER. I don’t know why I waited so long to try it. It’s magic you guys. Complete and utter magic. I love it when you make a food that tastes like another food and you can trick people. This pie, for example, looks and tastes like an apple…

Sometimes you get an idea in your head that you just need to make a reality. This was one of those times. I already had alphabet cookie cutters from another project and a good slab pie recipe. I didn’t have any leaf cookie cutters, but those were easy enough to freehand cut out of the dough….
As soon as I saw this recipe on Use Real Butter, I knew I needed to make it. Combining soft, warm cinnamon rolls with ooey, gooey caramel sauce and diced apples is a totally irresistible combination! I didn’t have two round pans, so I ended up baking half the rolls in a round pan and…

Cider donuts from Honeypot Hill One of my favorite things about fall is apple cider donuts. They have to come fresh from an apple orchard from New England, though, preferably on a brisk, sunny day. I’ve tried the ones they sell at super markets and even the state fair, but they’re just not the same….
My church went apple picking last weekend, and I went with the express purpose of picking apples to make this pie. Or more precisely, so I could make this pie crust from America’s Test Kitchen. I first made the vodka pie crust three years ago with Tammy. It made the flakiest, most flavorful pie crust…
