Raisin bran cake recipes

Instead of the raisins, this Apple Strudel uses dried cranberries instead. It's also lighter, crispier and easier to make by using phyllo pastry instead of typical thick pastry.

Just like little fruitcakes! I soaked my fruit in the bourbon overnight. Easy recipe to put together and great way to use extra fruit from making my fruitcakes.

Quick, easy and delicious recipe for you to make your own mincemeat that can be used for cookies, pies and other desserts!

This moist, buttery and flavorful applesauce pound cake is always a winner at our place, we make it very often, sometimes after main course, sometimes we just have it as our coffee cake with some coffee or tea. It is a wonderful and delightful cake :)

Diabetic Spice Oatmeal Cookies recipe

Low fat pumpkin cookies. Pumpkin, cranberry and pecans make these soft flavorful cookies that are perfect for Thanksgiving. I've lowered the amount of saturated fat, lowered the amount of sugar and switched the whole wheat flour to boost fiber.

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

Dark Christmas Cake recipe

I make this recipe and double it and make bigger cookies, also I substitute Chocolate chips for nuts and raisins because I am allergic to nuts and my kids hated raisins.

"This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock."

Milopita ( Greek Apple Pastry ) recipe

Try something different for Thanksgiving with this decadent cake that will have its own spotlight on the dinner table.

This is a new treat in our house, but we are loving it. My son loves filling the apples with the dry mixture and snagging raisins when he thinks I’m not looking. Happy cooking!
