Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix beaten eggs, room temperature milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

4. Combine dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.

5. Gently fold in thinly sliced apples until coated with batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

7. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

8. Allow the cake to cool before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Directions:

1. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.

2. Add butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl.

3. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the peanut butter and continue beating until fluffy, about 1 minute.

5. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until combined.

6. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

8. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

9. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the blue and white nonpareils in a medium bowl.

10. Scoop the dough using a 3/4-ounce scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) and roll the dough into a ball. Continue scooping and rolling until you've used up about half the dough.

11. Roll each ball in the sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. 12. Chill the remaining dough while the first batch bakes.

13. Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and lightly golden, about 12 minutes.

14. Immediately press a chocolate gelt into the center of each cookie.

15. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

16. When the baking sheet is cool, spray again with nonstick spray and repeat with the remaining dough, sprinkles and chocolate gelt.

Directions:

1. Add the hot chocolate, vanilla vodka and Kahlua to a mug and stir gently to prevent spilling. 2. Top with whipped cream or cinnamon and enjoy!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F

3. Add chocolate chips to the dry ingredients mixture and fold in to mix well.

4. Form a well in the middle bowl and pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Stir until just combined, adding additional cream if needed.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 7-8 inch wide circle. (If using the pearl sugar or sprinkles for decoration, add after shaping the dough and press down lightly to help the decoration stick)

6. Cut into 8 equal pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Bake on the center rack for 22-24 minutes until scones are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Transfer to a wire rack and allow them to cool before enjoying.
