Fall is definitely my favorite season of flavors! Pumpkin, maple, apple and caramel all make it a teensy bit easier to say goodbye to summer. I have made and savored a lot of your recipes Mary, but I forgot about those cranberry pecan pie crust leaves! Yum! What a treat to enjoy all these gorgeous treats and photos again, my bucket list is growing :)

Beautiful post!
No wonder the majority of us all gain weight in the Fall/Winter, these recipes are amazing. My mouth is watering just looking at your beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to start baking!!!
PS. I’m leaving for Switzerland on Saturday to meet my grandson! The weather there is already cooler. I will bring a couple of your recipes with me to share with my daughter. Thanks again.
I have always wished I had an apple pie for my birthday rather than a cake. My daughter this year (last week)TRIED to get me the Caramel apple one at Costco (It is FABULOUS) but they didn’t have it:(: I eneded up with a cake. EVERY one of your recipes look so delicious I want them all!!! Will have to try some of these IF the weather ever cools off. We are having another heat wave up here in Pa. BUT I started my Fall decorating yesterday anyway. Just couldn’t wait:):)
already have copied the apple pumpkin cranberry bundt cake, everything looks totally scrumptious. Thanks for the great ideas.
Wow! I saved several of the recipes to try. I just love how beautifully you decorate. Happy September!

Mary, thanks again for all these wonderful ideas. We all appreciate your efforts. It is putting me more in a “fall mood” even though it is 92 degrees outside.
What a fun collection Mary! Now all we need are for the temps to drop:@)
Oh, I should SO BE your neighbor and help you eat all of the above!!! *sigh* franki
Wonderful recipes…can’t wait to make some for friends and family get-togethers this fall. Thanks for sharing all your yummies and lovely decorating tips.
Mary,
I printed out the recipe for the pumpkin chocolate harvest cake and look forward to trying it. The bourbon-pecan glaze recipe does not specify the quantity of pecans. It probably doesn’t matter but do you have a recommendation? Thanks so much!
Oops! Thanks for letting me know Sue I’ll add it to the recipe! 1/4 – 1/3 cup chopped pecans! You can double the amount of glaze if desired too :)
Whoa…what an abundant source of goodies!!! Bookmarking this post immediately…thanks for sharing, Mary.
You always have the most incredibly enticing ideas & photos. *sigh*
I must needs get myself to a weight watchers meeting pronto after this post! What an amazing post chock-full of deliciousness! *le sigh*
I’ve just taken a pot of your roasted pear-butternut squash soup off the stove and it’s delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for a lovely fall recipe that I’ll be serving to my family next weekend.
So glad you like it Debra! It’s a favorite of ours too :)
