Seasonal recipes feature apple-cinnamon cake and savory pancakes

Various seasonal and practical recipes are featured, including a moist apple-cinnamon cake and a quick savory pancake dish.

The apple-cinnamon cake is prepared using a soft mixed dough with grated apple to ensure moisture. It is topped with a white icing and can be enhanced with ingredients like walnuts, pecans, ginger, or chocolate. The recipe suggests that the cinnamon aroma complements the sweetness of the fruit, making it a popular choice for autumn.

For a quicker option, a savory “lazy” pancake can be prepared in the oven using a large tray, combining elements of traditional pancakes and Italian pizza. This version uses ham, mozzarella, mushrooms, tomatoes, and arugula, with fresh green onions mixed directly into the liquid batter to caramelize during baking. This method is designed to save time and minimize cleanup.
