Pecan blondies are the perfect treat to bring to any dinner party. They are gooey, buttery, and customizable for all of your friends with a nut allergy. The espresso cream cheese frosting is optional, but I don’t think it should be. Add some zing (and a hint of energy) to your blondies for an all-night get together!

This holiday season we’re spicing up the typical apple pie. The sweet medley of apples and pears joins forces with an array of the coziest of autumnal flavors. Dried cranberries balance the fruity flavors with a tartness that is always welcome. Best of all, buttery spiced pecan oat crumbles on top encapsulates all of the autumnal flavors while begging to be topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
