Sweet, tangy and on the edge of too sour, this pie is my absolute favorite for Thanksgiving!

French Apple Pie
This pie is a cross between a pie and a crisp. It’s so good, I couldn’t even get the picture taken before a slice was gone! Don’t be put off by the GIGANTIC list of ingredients. With an oatmeal crust you can press into the pan, this dessert comes together really quickly. Even my father-in-law, who’s not a big pie fan, enjoyed it! –Mellyn
Cheesy Apple Muffins
Going without cheese is no option for our family. My grandfather loved cheese so much he would put it in his morning oatmeal. I guess you could say grandpa was the inspiration for these muffins.

Yes, I spend the extra money on freeze-dried cheeses, but I shop the sales and stock up when I find it for $15-$20 a #10 can. I also feel $40 a can is too much, but when things are on sale, I can justify a lot.
Apple Pancakes
Don’t let the long list of ingredients keep you from trying these. They are inspired by a family recipe given to me from my mother-in-law. We can’t live without these special pancakes so I was just determined to make them out of shelf stable ingredients. They do not disappoint.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
You really don’t need a lot of chocolate chips in these muffins to give you the chocolate you crave. Mellyn taught me that if you reserve a few from the recipe to sprinkle on top it really makes a huge difference. Not only do they look more chocolate packed, they actually taste it too!

Donkey’s Waffles
A favorite Saturday morning breakfast at our house, these waffles were inspired by our favorite Betty Crocker recipe. –Mellyn
