Fall Baking with Bob’s Red Mill
‘Tis the season for stretchy pants, sweaters and firing up the oven! We love fall not only for the fact that it marks the start to our apple harvest in the Northwest, but we also love it for all the recipes we know will soon be underway, cozying up people’s homes with that spicy and sweet holiday aroma. When we think of holiday recipes at home, we love to aim for something easy and achievable, delicious (duh), and something that’s great to save for later so nothing goes to waste!
As soon as we whipped out our planning hats for the big feast, we immediately thought of our friends over at Bob’s Red Mill because well, their products are always our go-to when it comes to baking. We decided on our tried-and-true Salted Caramel Apple Pecan Galette and a new holiday favorite – Caramel Crumble Baked JUICI Apples. Both easy, decadent and truly reminiscent of the holiday season. The Baked Apples alone literally make your home smell like a festive fall scented candle – it tastes and smells that good. I loved the idea of Baked Apples too because while they may be an ‘overdone’ dessert, they are for a reason – they’re easy, tasty and come with a side of less guilt than a Costco apple pie! The Bob’s Red Mill oats gave them the yummiest texture and subtle crunch – almost like a crumbly oatmeal apple pie cookie! Both recipes combined took about 1 hour total to make, and thanks to Bob’s Red Mill – the caramel crumble topping was out-of-this-world and the galette dough was a baked to perfection.

What else should you add to the Thanksgiving menu you ask? Feel free to stray away from tradition and bundle up for a mini-giving outside with your friends, or even bring your dessert plate outside to watch the sunset by the fire pit. Grab a cozy blanket, some pillows and bring the party outside to switch things up. We love snacking since this is the holiday of gratitude and grub, so we stock up on lots of fun cheeses, nuts, seeds (pepitas are the best, tell us we’re wrong!), a vibrant, bold and fruity sangria, colorful fresh produce and even better company to share it with.
