Raspberry Crumb Bars

Apple Cake

Fresh, locally grown apples are hard to beat this time of year. The farmers markets are loaded with a variety of them – each one unique in taste, texture and color. Typically for baking you want to go with a more tart apple like Ida Red or Granny Smith, but any variety will work here. Apple Cake

Mixed Berry Almond Galette

Puff pastry is one of my favorite ingredients to work with because it’s so versatile and delicious. The buttery, flaky crust on this galette pairs beautifully with the creamy fruit filling and toasty, crunchy almond crust.
