Apple Tarts, Pumpkin Bread, and Pomegranate Banana Muffins

when a dear friend bought her first house a few months ago,
she invited me over for a day of interior decorating talk good company.
and what better way to break in a new oven than a day of fall baking?

we chose fall recipes, went shopping and got to work.

first up was pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling


next up we made mini apple pies in tart tins.
line tins with store bought pie crust;
peel and dice apples and toss with sugar, cinnamon, 
brown sugar, nutmeg, and flour.
fill lined tins with flavored apples and bake.

we made some without tops


and some with tops


they turned out perfect golden brown


next we made banana pomegranate muffins




once again we did a little bake as you go experimenting
and i have very little "recipes" to go from.

what are your favorite fall treats?

mini pumpkin pies

one of my favorite fall dishes is pumpkin pie.
i also have a love for mini desserts.
this is my combination of the best of both worlds.


pumpkin pie just isnt the same without Libby's
did any of you experience the hurt that i did when i found my
local markets shelves bare where i would normally find 
this lovely little orange labeled can?
oh the excitement when i found last years 
pumpkin crop catastrophe was over!


following Libby's trusty recipe, i mixed the ingredients and
filled mini tart tins lined with pie crust.


bake until filling is firm and crust is golden


top with whipped cream and 
revel in the taste of fall.
