Snickerdoodle Apple Cheesecake Pie

Snickerdoodle Apple Cheesecake Pie is perfect for a special autumn occasion! This was a second anniversary treat for us, and "delicious" was our verdict.



Cinnamon, apple, cheesecake, and pie are all favorite flavors of mine, so this dessert was a winner. It's a multi-step process, so it's best for those rare treats. For this special occasion, I chose to use up the cane sugar I'd acquired long before, but if I made this again, I'd use monkfruit.

How to Organize Your Whole Kitchen in Just Fifty Years

A restful kitchen is an organized kitchen. For me, what could be more relaxing than all the food items beautifully arranged in matching containers that perfectly fit together in the available space, easy to access, easy to use, and easy to maintain?  It seems attainable. After all, the internet is full of organized pantries that spark immediate aspirations to #kitchengoals: Image from How to Create the Perfectly Organized Pantry  I love this pantry from She Gave It a Go. Baskets, clear square containers, uniformity, just the right amount of space between items - both in how it looks and in ease of finding everything, it's a definite success.  Yet if I attempted to model my own pantry after this one, I'd give it a go and give up.

I especially love this recipe because the surprise filling provides flavor and texture variety more than ordinary muffins, but these are still quick to stir together.
