Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, especially topped with fruit like blueberries or raspberries. I rarely make it though, because it is so rich and calorie laden. But the holidays seem to call for decadent desserts. Thanksgiving or Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a delicious dessert like this Blueberry Cheesecake.
Caramel Apple Cake Recipe
Apples are one of the best things about fall! We always enjoy using our fresh picked apples to make desserts, like this Caramel Apple Cake.
Apple Cobbler
Apple picking season is winding down around here, but I am still making apple desserts. This Apple Cobbler is a great way to get apple pie taste without going to all the trouble of making a pastry crust!
The recipe is just a whole bunch of apples tossed with a little sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and topped off with a fluffy biscuit topping. I like to use lots of apples in my cobblers, so that the biscuit topping doesn’t overwhelm the fruit.
For pies I like to use crisp apples like Granny Smith so the pie holds its shape. But I like my cobblers juicy, so I used softer Cortland and Gala apples for this dish. Topping the cobbler off with a sprinkling of sparkling sugar adds a little crunch, and the sparkle makes the dessert seem more special with no extra effort.

This Chocolate Raspberry Ho Ho Trifle is easy to make and looks and tastes amazing!
Sometimes you just want to make a festive dessert without a ton of effort! This trifle is very visually appealing, but it takes only a few minutes to make.
Ho Hos are a snack that is a guilty pleasure for me. I don’t eat them often, but they were my Dad’s favorite, so they always remind me of him. And something about the layers of chocolate and cream just make them special. Of course a trifle is just a layers of cake and cream, so it seemed like a perfect fit for these snacks.
