A rich version of German apple pancake. Half and half adds the richness, using more apples than usual really highlights the apple flavor, and cinnamon gives the extra warmness. An ideal and delicious breakfast.

Roasted squash and apple gave the soup lots of yummy flavor, chopped hazelnuts added some crunchy texture and nuttiness. We served it with a savory pie together, perfect. Or you can serve the soup with a loaf of good bread.

Moist, chocolaty, nutty, and delicious. This apple cake is made of fresh apples and apple sauce and frosted by both butter and chocolate frosting.

"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

This is a very tasty and refreshing salad, and it was so quick and easy to make, liked the sweetness and sourness from apple juice and cider vinegar, which just right balanced.

Snow peas, carrots and water chestnuts give this stir-fry the very crunchy texture, and the Asian sauce adds the sweetness, sourness and spiciness. A quick, easy and tasty stir-fry is great for a weeknight.

I did mine in my slow cooker and used Boston butt instead of a roast. I let it go on low for 10 hours. Fabulous!

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

This beautiful spiced apple cake, not only satisfy the eyes but also satisfy your taste. Rich seasonal spices and lovely presentation make this a holiday treat. It's also high in fiber and low in fat! No guilt decadence.

Just the right amount of everything, and well balanced flavor and texture. A great fall or winter dessert that uses seasonal cranberries and everyone will be thrilled.
