Caramel Apple Scones are made bakery style with tart granny smith apple and caramel pieces with caramel drizzle. Kraft Caramel Bits are added together with apples to make these bakery style scones. They taste very similar to an apple fritter with gently sautéed apples in butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. This mixture gets folded into the fluffy scone batter. What really tops them off is the caramel drizzle. Sweet caramel pairs perfectly with tart Granny Smith apples. Sprinkle a few caramel bits on top of the scones right after the caramel drizzle. The homemade caramel sauce makes extra, so be prepared to store the remaining sauce for another use. I…

Caramel Apple Spice Cakes, sweet, sticky caramel apple topping with a spiced apple cake are the perfect semi-homemade treat for fall. These semi-homemade Caramel Apple Spice Cakes are an easy way to add a little something special to your box of cake mix. Apples are the first thing I think of for fall, as I’m not a huge pumpkin spice fan. Located in Washington State where nearly 60% of the U.S. apples are grown, we have our fresh pick for the season.

Bright and Citrusy Lemon Zucchini Scones are made bakery style with plenty of shredded zucchini and a sweet lemon zest glaze. These sweet and savory scones are easy to whip up for breakfast.

I know every year I try to plant less and less zucchini plants, but even with only one plant this year, I have…

This No Bake Banana Dream Dessert combines layers of lady fingers, bananas, vanilla pudding, whipped cream and is topped with toasted meringue. I call this No Bake Banana Dream Dessert because one spoonful is like a dream. It’s light, creamy and highly addicting, which is a good thing because it has a refrigerator life span of about two days. Similar to the classic banana pudding with Nilla wafers, this dessert uses Italian lady fingers, which really hold up to the creamy layers of deliciousness. If serving at a gathering, you want to plan to make this dessert at least two hours ahead of time to allow all the flavors to…

Fresh Raspberry Lemonade Pound Cake, raspberry and lemon cream between buttery lemon pound cake with lemon cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries. Fresh, sweet raspberries are the perfect fruit to pair with bright citrusy lemon in this Fresh Raspberry Lemonade Pound Cake. Lemon is added to every step of this cake from the frosting to the filling and even the pound cake with accents of sweet raspberries. This buttery pound cake holds up perfectly to the raspberry and lemon pastry cream, making for the perfect slice of cake. I happened to have my mother’s raspberry freezer jam to use for the filling, but store bought jam would work as well.…
