So glad you are back for the final day of Apple Week! If you missed the last two days, don’t forget to check out these tarts and chips!

It has been fun making all of these new apple recipes that I now can add to my recipe box for the next time I am in the mood for apples.

As I was eating this cake I thought what a great alternative this could be for apple pie! It has the same flavors but with icing! Sounds even better to me!

 This cake roll is your standard type of roll. It takes some patience and waiting around but it is worth it in the end so don’t give up.

I knew last year after we apple picked I wanted to replicate my pumpkin roll and make an apple roll. Well it took me a whole other year before I actually did it and let me tell you, it didn’t last long in my house!

I think the family would of finished it off in a day if I had let them! ENJOY!
