maple caramel apple pie
We’re back with our second pie of the week – maple caramel apple pie! Pies can be very divisive.

loaded peanut butter cookie bars
One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is to figure out a way to incorporate leftover candy in a baked good. I worry that I’ll run out of ideas for such a specific task, but so far, I love every variation. Last year I made M&M Reese’s sea salt chocolate chip cookies, the…
