by | Updated: December 3rd, 2016

When it comes to holiday food, I indulge. Oh yes. Cookies? Absolutely. Pies? You bet! I can’t imagine this time of year without these otherwise taboo treats. Even with all the joy of enjoying these goodies, though, it pains me to exclude our furry friends in the festivities. They deserve to let loose, too. This year, make your dog’s season bright by going beyond the stuffed stocking and baking these fun and easy pupcakes. As you’re digging into that warm, old-fashioned apple pie, your pup can enjoy his own apple dessert, topped with frosting and sprinkles.
