This is the best dessert for the early fall when the sweet and firm apples are just in season. Use the best quality cinnamon you can get and get it from a spice merchant or a store where you can get it in bulk;  it does make a difference. Within ten minutes of going in the oven the scent will fill the house and neighbours you loaned things to years ago will return them just to invite themselves in and wonder aloud if there is any left (Note: there isn’t). Optional accompaniments would be caramel sauce, ice cream, and whipped cream.

This is an amazing no-flour peanut butter cookie. It is so easy, even kids like to make it.

This is a wonderful old family recipe served warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.
