Classic Waldorf Salad – the most popular salad is so easy to make at home. Fresh lettuce, crisp apples, juicy grapes and crunchy walnuts and celery make this classic a favorite.

This delicious salad is perfect with my Easy Grilled Chicken, Parmesan Crusted Salmon or Garlic Herb Chicken and Potatoes.

WALDORF SALAD

First served in Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896, this salad is a classic. Originally made with lettuce, apples, celery and grapes mixed in a creamy mayo dressing. Walnuts were added later on and bring a nice nutty taste (especially if you toast them first) and crunchy texture. The combination of juicy grapes and sweet crunchy apples is perfect with celery and lettuce. This Waldorf Salad is a must-try and since it’s so easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. It’s delicious with grilled chicken, salmon or served as a sandwich salad with chopped chicken.

Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe

Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe – soft and fluffy cinnamon cake with a layer of spiced brown sugar apples cooked in a skillet. You can use any apples you want to make this delicious dessert!

I could tell you that this cake was a result of having a bunch of apples that desperately needed to be used. But honestly, seeing apple and pumpkin desserts popping up on social media got me in the mood for a fall dessert. The apples were perfect for that.

This Cinnamon Apple Cake is easy and so incredibly delicious! The cake is soft and fluffy and the apples perfectly spiced and sweet. I used the cake part recipe from my very popular, Best Apple Crumb Cake recipe. If you made it and love it, you will love this Cinnamon Apple Cake too! A generous dusting of powdered sugar and a cup of latte and you are set for a delicious afternoon break.

The Best Baked Apples

The Best Baked Apples – classic fall dessert made to perfection! You will love all of the flavors in this dish!

This recipe brings back childhood memories. It’s one of my favorite fall desserts. My grandparents had an apple orchard and each fall I would visit it almost every day. I love apples! It was my favorite snack then and I would always chomp on them while studying or reading.

Since fall is here to stay for a while and I love apple desserts, I figured it’s time to share the recipe for baked apples. And this one is the very best!

My Mom would make these fantastic baked apples every Sunday and they always disappeared so fast! Now, I make it for my kids. I also added a few of my own touches.
