Sheet pan dinners have become a favorite around our house lately.  We love the ease of preparation and clean up, consisting of cooking the entire meal in a sheet pan.

Simple Plum Clafoutis

Plum Clafoutis is a dessert that can be elegant or rustic, depending on how it is baked.  I decided to go the rustic route and bake mine in a cast iron skillet.  The recipe is easy---really showcasing the plums in taste and beauty. Simple can be gorgeous! Simple Baked Plum Custard The joy of this simple custard is that it is often served at room temperature and dusted with powdered sugar.  Although plums are a crowd pleaser in this French dessert, cherries are traditional. Arranging the plums on top of the custard is elegant perfection in itself, but mine seemed to move when I poured the custard over them.  Oh well, I did say I went the rustic route, didn't I?

Apple Dumplings peeled and cored apples filled with cinnamon sugar mixture then wrapped in a buttery flaky pie crust and ladled with a warm syrup mixture of butter, sugar, and water.  They are perfectly cooked, and you are in heaven!   My apple dumpling recipe comes from a good friend and it never ceases to amaze me how many memories flow in every time I make them.

Brown Sugar Pumpkin Pie Bars , an elegant pumpkin pie in a simple dessert bar.   A nice way to serve dessert at family gatherings, bridal showers, and even tailgate entertaining.  I am a little anxious for fall to get here, so I am going to get it started with a pumpkin recipe. Pumpkin is synonymous with fall so much so that we embrace the humble gourd in the squash family as a superfood, low in calories and high in fiber.  That works for me because I love pumpkin anything!
