An Apple Season Delight
This mildly spicy fresh apple cake is infused with the luscious flavor of super-juicy apples, creating a delightful pairing with a steaming cup of tea. The sweet glaze provides a perfect finishing touch. If you prefer a block of thicker ice, reduce the buttermilk used for thinning. While Honeycrisp apples offer a delightful blend of sweetness and tartness, feel free to experiment with any combination of apples, bearing in mind that the apple’s tartness will influence the cake’s overall sweetness.
Banana Nut Bread
In this wholesome banana nut bread recipe, walnuts contribute a delightful crunch and a tangy, sharp kick. Opt for ripe bananas adorned with abundant brown spots, or even those verging on black, as they impart an extra layer of sweetness. The resulting banana nut bread boasts a tender crumb and a beautifully caramelized crust.

Indulge in these wholesome pumpkin brownies filled with mini chocolate chips. The cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves blend adds a cozy seasonal touch to this classic treat. Given the thick batter, ensure you spread it evenly for uniform baking.
Maple-Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread
Enjoy this comforting sweet potato bread with your morning coffee or tea, or elevate it into a light dessert by pairing it with a scoop of maple ice cream or sweetened whipped cream. Take care not to overcook the sweet potato in the microwave, as a dry sweet potato can result in less moist bread.
