Welcome to #AppleWeek!

Happy Monday ya'll! And happy fall! To kick off my favorite season of the year, I'm joining some of my best blogger friends to bring you #AppleWeek - an entire week filled with delicious apple recipes plus amazing giveaways! Every day this week we will be sharing some of our favorite recipes featuring apples. I'll be sharing three of my favorites, starting tomorrow. Until then, check out what my friends have made!


Loaded Baked Apples with Caramel Drizzle

Fresh Michigan apples are stuffed with a sweet and crunchy oat filling, then topped with caramel to make 
one decadent and delicious Autumn dessert!

It's Fall, it's Fall, hallelujah it's Fall! I hope you are as excited about Fall as I am. It's definitely my favorite season. Don't get me wrong, I do love summer. But there are just so many things to love about Fall. Especially living in Michigan. Crisp, cool mornings. The beautiful, colorful changing leaves. Apples, pumpkins and squash galore. And of course, football. Lots and lots of football. 

When the weather starts to change, even if only a little bit, I take that as as sign to start my Fall baking. Trust me, there is nothing better than starting to pumpkin all of the things! I also love cooking and baking with apples, and these loaded baked apples are not only delicious, but they are loaded with vitamins and full of flavor.

Skillet Cinnamon Apples

These easy to make skillet cinnamon apples are a delicious side dish or topping for pancakes and ice cream!

It's still a few weeks away but I'm already planning out my sides for Thanksgiving. We always have the standards - dressing, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes - but each year I like to add a few new recipes too.

I made these Skillet Cinnamon Apples over the weekend and right away I told my son, these are going on our Thanksgiving table! They are simple to make, budget friendly, and they taste absolutely amazing. Who knew that just a few ingredients could turn into something so divine?! 


Overnight Apple Pie French Toast Bake

Sweet Challah bread, crisp apples and delicious spices make one delicious breakfast bake that your whole family will love!

I've professed my love for weekend breakfasts many times before. Not being rushed and having all the time in the world to make a delicious and hearty breakfast for my family just fills my heart with joy.

I tend to be a sweet breakfast lover. I can't wait to make pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls or any other sweet treat for my boys. Of course I need bacon to go along with those too, because everyone needs bacon. I mean, you just do!
