Let’s cut right to the chase: it’s fall (read: it’s apple season). And that means apples are everywhere! Why not use them in your next delicious dessert concoction? I say we should which is why this autumn-flavored cheesecake recipe from Recipe4Living caught my eye. Not only is it a cheesecake (which in most cases is good enough!) but it incorporates apples and cinnamon in a very delicious way. So if you’re looking for something to bring to a potluck or just an impressive dessert for a gathering at your own place, try this one on for size!

Even though it’s currently 75 degrees, humid and ready to storm here in Chicago, our calendar tells us that Fall officially starts today! And with favorite Fall goodies like apples, squash, pears and more hitting the markets, it’s time to start Fall cooking! So forget that the current temperatures might not be what we’re used to when eating apple crisp, butternut squash soup or meatloaf. After all, if it were up to the weather in Chicago, I would NEVER know what to cook!

I’ve always wanted to make my own caramel apples. They’re fun, they’re tasty, and they’re one of the best parts of fall. Well, this new addition to Recipe4Living is a recipe for the perfect caramel apples with a healthy twist! Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling these bad boys healthy, but they do incorporate trail mix into their outer caramel glaze. When was the last time you had a caramel apple with raisins and nuts?

This Sunday will officially start the fall season, meaning lots of pumpkins, lots of squash, and lots of apples. While I love pumpkin, apples and all apple byproducts are also a favorite part of my fall season, especially apple cider. How nice is it to cuddle up to a warm glass of apple cider? The cinnamon, the spice…all of it really puts the beauty of fall into perspective. And, since we all know I like to at least attempt to make things from scratch…
Cilck here for a guide on how to make your own cider!

As much as I hate to admit it or even bear the thought of typing these words: fall is approaching. Here in Chicago, temperatures have been dropping, just like the rain making it almost official that summer is on its way out. Yes, you know how I hate the cold weather. But, thank goodness for the squash, the pears, the pumpkin, and the apples that will soon make their presence known at the farmer’s markets and riddle themselves in salads and soups and even desserts. If it weren’t for the glorious food, I’m not sure what I’d do.
I’d also like to thank someone who goes by the name of barcogifts on Recipe4Living, who submits delicious, exciting, and refreshing fall recipes like Crumbly Apple Pie. It’s recipes like these that really make fall something to look forward to! A cross between a crumb cake and an apple pie, this recipe is certainly one I plan to make.
