This almond flour shortbread is sinfully buttery, delectably tender, and oh so rich in flavor!  Almond flour is a wonderful addition to this iconic cookie recipe, adding both flavor and nutrition. It has a natural buttery and slightly nutty flavor with a high protein content, providing an ideal texture and taste that’s just divine. 

Salted caramel and pears, yum! You can’t go wrong when these flavors meld together. The natural sweetness of pears combined with a deliciously buttery crumble topping is something to write home about.  A drizzle of salted caramel sauce makes this unique pie a little slice of heaven.

Have your pie and your cake too!

Usher in fall with these wholesome, nutrient dense baked apples. They make a great after school snack or can be a part of a healthy breakfast. Add an optional topping to kick it up a notch into a healthy dessert you could serve to company.

This light and refreshing dessert is the perfect way to showcase crisp, fresh, fall apples. Reminiscent of its baked counterpart, it’s the perfect dish for the last remaining warm days of the season.
