Over Thanksgiving I poured myself into developing some new recipes for the blog. This can be quite frustrating when your vision doesn’t exactly come to life and you have to re-do or scratch it. I was pretty thrilled with the way these babies turned out. I hope these inspire you to bake yourself a weeknight treat or bring your gal or guy friends a holiday sweet.

Apples are hands down my favorite way to dessert. Apple crisp, pie, cake, tart, sauce EVERYTHING. It’s warm, its comfort (think apple crisp a la mode with ice cream… oh goodness! here she goes), it’s holidayesc. I don’t know I just love them. SO! I had to make apple tart tatin, but my way. Fresh cranberries were the next best decision to a double puff pastry crust. Yes, double! And, I highly recommend eating this once it’s cooled down but still warm.

On the contrary I could give or take a banana in anything. My banana standards couldn’t compete with my apples. However, covered in dense chocolate ganache- like pudding, whipped cream, and wisps of toffee I suppose we can rethink the banana. Try this girl and you might just fall off the couch (because I expect you to be curled up under a blanket while eating this).
