In our area freshly picked apples begin to appear at produce markets in late July and continue being picked until late October. Fried apples are so easy to make and the Brown Sugar Sweetener caramelizes on them for a melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I was gifted Granny Smith Apples and the combination of tart/caramelized is so appealing.

Fall would not be complete without apples and pumpkins. Crunchy sweet apples and creamy pumpkin pie remind us of Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Here is a collection of recipes using these two fall crops. I hope you will enjoy them as much as our family does.
For many years we had a hobby orchard of 30+ fruit trees. There were quite a few apple trees which produced bushels of fruit. We had plenty for fresh eating, baking, canning, and even to make gallons of cider. One of our favorite fresh eating apple is Gala.

I always loved to bake Angel Food Cakes and this recipe was the first cake I made sugar and gluten free. This cake makes an impressive dessert when you add fresh berries and cream cheese filling. It would be embarrassing to tell you how quickly this platter was emptied at my house. My family loves it!!
Have you ever heard of a Bumbleberry? While there is not an actual fruit call Bumbleberry; this name is given to a mixture of fruit baked in a cobbler or pie. This mixed fruit cobbler features apples, rhubarb , blueberries, and strawberries. A biscuit style crust tops the fruit. This delicious cobbler serves 1 person for a main dish or 2 as a dessert.
If you are like me–you wish peach season would last longer. This fluffy cheesecake features peaches. Even better yet, it is a no-bake dessert so you don’t have to turn your oven on. The walnuts in the crust add a delightful crunch and pair with the smoothness of the filling. There are so many peaches varieties to pick from but my favorites for fresh eating are Red Haven, Sun High, and Contender.
