Make This Now: Sunken Apple Cake with
Maple-Bourbon Glaze
Got a bushel of apples just waiting to be eaten? This fall-ready dessert from our test kitchen is inspired by a traditional German versunkener apfelkuchen, or sunken apple cake. The apples are baked until sweet and just tender while the buttery cake rises up around them. For a final sheen, we brush ours with an aromatic maple-bourbon glaze. Get the details on this recipe HERE.

Recipe Spotlight: Coffee-Roasted Pumpkin Seed Clusters
While jack-o-lantern carving is fun on its own, one of our favorite parts is figuring out what to do with the seeds! We love them roasted with a simple drizzle of oil and sprinkle of S&P, but this year we’re dialing it up a notch with these chocolatey snack clusters from Half Baked Harvest. Get the recipe HERE.
