Apple-Zucchini Bread
Apple-Zucchini Bread just seems so perfect for this time of year—early fall is when I’m inspired to bake apple-flavored things! This recipe not only has apples, but zucchini too, which is great—you can never have enough good zucchini recipes for all that zucchini from the garden, can you?

Pumpkin Bundt Cake
There’s something about autumn that makes me want to bake and eat pumpkin-flavored things.

With the canned…
