I never thought I’d say this, but pumpkin spice has some serious competition!!!

Head to the link in my bio, it’ll save you 10%, and try this amazing Cinnamon swirl peanut butter and all their other flavors!!

Cinnamon Peanut Butter Apple Cake
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Cinnamon Swirl Peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/4 cup applesauce
1 TBSP maple Syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 small apple, peeled and chopped, I used a Gala

Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, brown sugar, apple sauce, maple syrup and vanilla until nice and smooth. Fold in the chopped apple pieces.
Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix to combine. Add the batter to your prepared pan and smooth to an even layer.
Drop a few TBSP of the same peanut butter on top of the batter and swirl with your spoon. Optional, but I like to add some cinnamon sugar to the top as well. 1 TBSP sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon, mixed together.
Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
This is optional as well, but I like a drizzle on my cake. So if you do too, mix together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 2-3 TBSP milk until well combined, then drizzle all over that cooled cake. Cut into squares and enjoy!

We traded traditional pumpkin carving for Reese’s pumpkin carving this year, and honestly, it might be our favorite version yet. Between the giggles, chocolate covered fingers, and trying not to eat the pumpkins before we finished decorating them, this was such a fun family activity. Now tell me, would your family like to carve chocolate pumpkins??

Hey y’all, guess what?! 🎃🎃
The Pumpkin Crumble Bars have officially arrived! I know I kept y’all waiting on this recipe, but trust me, one bite and you’ll forgive me.
With a buttery crumble, pumpkin filling, and all the cozy fall flavors you love, these bars are pure comfort in dessert form. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel on top, and it’s game over.
This is one of those recipes that’ll disappear fast, so make sure you grab a piece before they’re gone!
Save this recipe for your next fall gathering, holiday dessert table, or just because you need a little pumpkin goodness in your life!
