Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This apple cake is bursting with pieces of tender and sweet apple and chopped walnuts. Everyone loves it topped with my cream cheese frosting.
Sugared Danish Butter Cookies with Pecan Halves
This recipe is for a very elegant and tender butter cookie that just melts in your mouth. Half of the dough yields a sugared butter cookie, while the other half is unsugared and topped with a pecan half. This recipe can be easily halved for a smaller yield, but believe me, the cookies disappear quickly. You won't regret making an entire batch because no one can stop eating them. The recipe looks more complicated than it really is. Just be sure not to slice the cookies too thickly.
Chef John's Chocolate Granola
Don't be deceived by its indulgent, chocolaty flavor — this granola contains less sugar than most. Introducing cocoa into the mix not only makes it delicious, but it also makes it better for you! Possibly... The point is this really tastes great, with a pronounced chocolate flavor, and would make a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers and hippies alike.
