A delicious dessert for the season. Gluten-Free Apple Butter Bundt Cake with Cinnamon Glaze that’s vegan and top 8 allergy-free. Combining the deep and rich flavors of apple butter and seasonal spices for one healthy and sweet recipe treat!

I just love bundt cakes! Whenever I see one I’m always captivated by how beautiful and elegant they look. I’d only ever baked these mini bundts and never owned a big “full-sized” bundt pan. I still don’t…yes, even this apple butter bundt cake is not full-size, but half size! It was on sale at Walmart and I knew I had to take that as a sign to bake a bundt cake (even if it was a bit smaller!)Read More

Ugh, finally! I hate apple pie! I’ve never liked it. The gross stale crust and chunks of half-cooked apples with gooey…something strewn about. NOT a fan! So why is there finally an apple pie recipe in front of you right now? Because I made it exactly how an apple pie SHOULD be made so it’s actually delicious! Remember this Crustless Pumpkin Pie? A yearly family favorite during the season. So I took that method and made it apple pie instead!Read More

Bake up this quick & cozy Gluten-Free Maple Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal recipe for a delicious autumn breakfast! Vegan, top-8 allergy-free, & baked right in a cast iron skillet with a crisp maple sugar top!

It’s beginning to look (smell) a lot like PUMPKIN season! You all know I’m a summer girl, but the only redeemable thing about Fall is the fact that we can go pumpkin crazy and it being 100% socially acceptable. With all the pumpkin comes the cozy hot breakfasts, warming spices, and piping hot cups of coffee (okay, and those big comfy sweaters top my “redeemable list” too!)Read More
