Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble

Get ready for Fall with this Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble:: Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble ::

We love fall!  As soon as the temperature drops a couple degrees, I make this light and simple Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble. 

Over the weekend my husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary.  We spent the day going back to the town and winery that we got married at.  It was a beautiful day out in Temecula.  The weather was cooler and there was a slight breeze, a relief from the heat that we have had here in Southern California.  I know that most people don’t think that we have much of a fall, but we do have a few slight changes when this season arrives. I took full advantage of this fall feeling and I made this special Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble for my hubby.  It’s one of his favorite desserts. It was our anniversary after all {wink}!

Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting

:: Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting ::

Confession…. this post was totally supposed to be about Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting {whew… that’s a mouthful}, but…. the frosting literally STOLE the show! I decided that this entire post had to be dedicated to its light, airy, sweetness!

So, a little background… I first had this whipped cream cheese frosting when one of my lovely friends/coworkers made me cupcakes for my surprise baby shower with Mr. Amazing. Thankfully, my dear friend gave me the recipe, which I then passed on to Nicole, and some of my other close friends. In fact, Nicole also loves it, and has shared the recipe with you here. This time around… I made a minor {dare I say…. remarkable} adjustment, which turned this perfect summer frosting into the perfect one for fall. In fact… I couldn’t sleep last night because I was thinking of all the ways one could eat this heavenly confection!

Here are my thoughts… this would be incredibly delicious topped on pancakes, waffles, spice cakes, pumpkin, apple, or pecan pies, graham crackers, sugar cookies, or even fall muffins! It could be used as a sweet filling for dessert crepes… or you could simply dunk sliced apples right into it! Of course, there’s always my favorite option… eat. it. straight. out. of. the. bowl. If you choose that last option, just know you’re going to lick that bowl clean! It’s just that good! [Read more…]
