The flavors of fall are beckoning. How will you answer the call? If you’re craving something uniquely warm and sweet without the “What did I just eat?” remorse, put away the pie pan and break out your baking sheet. You’re just a few cut-up apples, a handful of cranberries and a sprinkling of cinnamon away from enjoying the best this season has to offer. Hellooo, autumn!
