Perfect Cherry Pie
Cherry pie is just about the easiest fruit pie to make. Sour cherries — the kind you need for pie — are rarely available fresh or frozen, so the canned variety usually is the only option for most cooks. Not only do canned cherries make good pies, but there's also no peeling, coring, seeding, pitting, or slicing the fruit. Just drain, dump, sweeten, flavor, and thicken, and you're in business!
Pumpkin Spelt Muffins
These little pumpkin splet muffins are not dense; the texture resembles a light cake. Spelt is an ancient grain that is easier to digest than flour. Baking time will vary depending on your oven, so start checking these at 18 minutes.
Old-Fashioned Pancakes
These pancakes are not too thick, not too thin, but tender, light, buttery, and delicious. Anybody can add water to a boxed pancake mix, but you're better than that!
