Apple Chunk Bread Frankly, I didn't peel the apples. I did dunk all the apple chunks in lemon water to keep them from browning.  Sources: The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna Rathmell German ISBN 1-55867-025-4 ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

  Pumpkin/Winter Squash Bread This versatile bread allows you to flex according to what's available in the grocery store in produce. Sometimes I can find only butternut squash or acorn squash, and not a sugar baby or pie pumpkin. I have resorted to canned pumpkin.  This bread comes out a bit dense and chewy. It has whole wheat flour as well as bread flour.  Sources: The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna Rathmell German ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

  Orange Cinnamon Bread This bread recipe was the overall winner of a poll I conducted among my Facebook friends, based on title alone.  Based on the size of my bread machine, I used the Medium sized amounts column. My bread machine's recipe book had recipes requiring 3 cups of flour, and that seems to work best for my bread machine.  Notes: I didn't have any grated orange peel, so I had to substitute grated lemon peel.  Sources The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna Rathmell German.

  Fall Harvest Bread  I've used this recipe since I first got a bread machine and I love it.  Notes: 1. Please note there are two sizes. If your bread machine normally needs 3 cups of flour, use the larger size. If you're unsure, make the smaller size first.  Sources: Electric Bread (ISBN 735342931523)  Bread Electric: Suzan Nightingale, Art & International Productions: 9780962983115: Amazon.com: Books ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

  Fall Squash Recipes A Southern woman knows what I mean when I say, "It's a Southern Living" recipe! I've made all three of these at one time or another. My personal favorite is the Creamy Butternut Soup. It's easy and soooooo good. It's worth the time to whip the remaining whipped cream into a delightful garnish for extra creaminess.  Frankly, winter squashes such as acorn squash, Hubbard, and butternut squashes are very similar in sweet orange goodness. Mix and match as your budget and tastes allow. Hubbard squash may need a longer bake time or you can cut it into smaller chunks. Worth it!  Tip: Butter the squash halves (scooped and seeds removed) before placing face down on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for about 45-60 minutes until the flesh is soft. Use an ice cream scoop or disher scoop to get all the flesh from the skins as soon as it is cool enough to handle. Scoop into a pre-labeled quart freezer bag and freeze until needed. ...

Gooey Caramel Apple Bars Intro: For the church fellowship hour, or feeding the kids after decorating for Halloween, these are great. This recipe yields 2 dozen, so be prepared to share.  Notes: 1. This recipe hearkens back to Ye Olden Days when many desserts were served as a two-crust "pie" that literally stood on its own.  2. Cool the 15x10 baking dish thoroughly to allow all that gooey caramel apple filling to soak in and firm up a bit or you'll have a lava-hot gooey mess. This is a safety concern, since many of us have a "Sneaky Pete" who will try to abscond with a cookie without permission.  Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

Pinecone Cheese Spread Pinecones are one of the great icons of fall, especially here in the South, where pine barrens and pine scrub forests are predominant. It's only fitting that this ubiquitous sign of fall make it to my fall table in a simple to make spread. No matter if you enjoy fancy Ritz crackers, Wheat Thins, or some complex gluten free cracker, this pairs well.
