Apple Butter Rolls
Imagine what would happen if an apple pastry and a cinnamon roll had a baby. You would have the tactile pleasure of pulling part perfectly baked dough spirals combined with the fresh bite of sweet apples and cinnamon. Sticky fingers are guaranteed. These are slightly sweet but not so much that they would be out…

Spiced Apple Butter
How have I missed hearing about apple butter for so long? This beautiful sauce spread stuff doesn’t seem to be sold in stores, but don’t worry, it is really easy to make. What do you do with apple butter once you have made it? The potential is endless. You could serve this in a small…

Banana Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
There always seem to be sad black bananas forever languishing at the back of my freezer, am I alone in this? Let’s help them find a better fate. Of course, I love a good banana bread, but sometimes I want something a little more indulgent. This cake is banana-y but not overpoweringly so. It is…

Maple Molasses Florentines
I made these cookies in honour of a friend of mine. She is one of the sweetest people I know, but when it comes to desserts her tastes run dark and bitter.

Pumpkin Pie Flan
I’m probably late to the party here, but have you tried flan? I had always passed it by in favour of other desserts with flashy decorations or tempting pastries, but not anymore! Making flan is a bit of a trust exercise. You cannot peak at what is happening below the surface, you just have to…

Surprisingly Healthy Chocolate Almond “Truffles”
This recipe is dedicated to my friend who is forced to live her life without the benefit of gluten or dairy. I don’t know how she does it, but she definitely deserves a treat! These little chocolate morsels are not a substitute for “real truffles”, they are delicious in their own right. They are soft…
