Sadly, #AppleWeek is coming to a close. I hope you've enjoyed all the amazing apple recipes that have been shared! I've had a great time participating and look forward to more events in the future.
We are huge fans of traditional shortcake. I was very excited to see this fall spin on it. I made no changes at all to the recipe, and my shortcakes baked in 19 minutes. I added a drizzle of caramel to my serving, the guys enjoyed theirs with whipped cream. Thank you so much to the Taste of Home Test Kitchen for this amazing new family favorite!

I love the idea of an apple cinnamon shortcake! I don't know why I only make shortcakes with berries and in the spring??? You have opened my eyes to a whole new world ;-)
ReplyDeleteRight? It made me start thinking of all kinds of crazy things, like a savory shortcake with roasted tomatoes for summer :)
DeleteYou rarely need to make any changes to a Taste of Home recipe. These sound wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true, Wendy. I've been a fan of Taste of Home since the 90s and am so excited to be a part of their Volunteer Field Editor team. Lots of our family favorites start with one of their recipes!
DeleteTheses sound delicious! It's been nice exploring your blog through Apple Week this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Val! It's been so much fun and I've increased my to-try list significantly :)
