It’s FALL. The season of all things pumpkin and apple. If you are anything like me you love to take it all in! We all know that winter lies ahead of us, so until then I will savor every minute of fall in Madison.
I have two go-to fall recipes that I use over and over and repeatedly get asked for the recipes from my friends and family. I am a tad embarrassed to admit that both of my go-to recipes have 3 ingredients (each)… it kind of takes away from my attempt to seem domestic. But the fact that they are absolutely delicious helps me overcome any shame I have at being a novice in the kitchen!
Pumpkin Muffin Ingredients:
1 box of spice cake mix
1 can of pumpkin
1 cup of water
*chocolate chips optional
Method:
Pre-Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together in medium bowl: spice cake mix, pumpkin and water until well blended. Pour the mixture into muffin cups or tins and bake for 25 minutes.
I usually add chocolate chips – but it’s totally optional! Another option is to skip the cup of water (and muffin tin altogether) and just mix the pumpkin/spice cake mix and put the ‘batter’ on a cookie sheet for ‘Pumpkin Cookies’! You can also freeze these to have a yummy snack for weeks to come!
Heath Bit Apple Dip Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/3 bag of heath bar toffee bits
Method:
Soften the cream cheese. Mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar and heath toffee bits in medium bowl until well blended. Refrigerate and serve with sliced apples.
It’s seriously THAT easy! I promise that you will not be disappointed – and neither will your houseguests!
This is my kind of cooking! We are headed to the apple orchard Saturday and I can’t wait to try thr dip!
It is seriously SO good! I could eat it by the spoonful but using apples makes me feel like I’m eating something healthy 🙂
The apple dip recipe is simply dangerous… I’ve had variations on it. Soooooo tasty!
I love pumpkin and have a great double pumpkin muffin recipe. But, I’m going to have to give this easy one a shot! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Would love to hear your double pumpkin muffin recipe!! Let me know how you like this one!
YUM!! Can’t wait to try these…those muffins are calling my name!!!! THANKS!
Alisa- Just made the muffins. SO good! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
So glad that you enjoyed them!! They are definitely a fall must-have in my house 🙂
I just pulled the muffins out of the oven…they are so good! I added chocolate chips to some and chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and coconut to the rest. I’m going to freeze some to keep fall going and going…if theyr’e not all eaten on the way to the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!
