What could be better than a slice of sweet apple pie? A hand-held fried apple pie you can take anywhere! This fried apple pie recipe is based on Amish fry pies, which are delectable little hand pies found in bakeries and roadside stands all around the rolling hills of Amish Country. Filled with precooked apples, they resemble southern fried pies or apple turnovers. However, they are made with a flaky dough that withstands a full dip in hot oil, rather than biscuit dough or puff pastry.

I’ve always loved the simplicity of snack cakes. They’re easy to make, they sit on the kitchen counter and they seem to get better as the days go on. While they make a great snack or dessert, they’re not too heavy and sugary to be discounted as breakfast. This peach cake is everything good about a snack cake and more. The tender cake holds up fresh peaches that have been tossed in brown sugar and butter.

While digging in to a slice of cake is always a treat, a bite of chiffon cake is a different experience. A type of sponge cake, chiffon cake is wonderfully light and fluffy, with a pillowy texture that never fails to impress. The key? It’s all in the ingredients and the method, making good use of whipped egg whites and cake flour for the cake’s signature delicate texture.

I’m always thrilled to stumble upon limited-edition, unique ice cream flavors in the grocery store, especially winter holiday flavors! Cartons of peppermint bark, hot cocoa, eggnog and gingerbread ice cream bring back memories of the festive sundaes I enjoyed with my college roommates at the Friendly’s on campus. It was our way of toasting the end of another semester and welcoming the start of the holiday season.

My mom made every single one of my birthday cakes when I was growing up, and from ages 6 to 11, it was always a Jell-O poke cake. I loved the bright berry-colored stripes that ran through the cake, and the fruity flavor in each bite. Mom would slather the top with frozen Cool Whip or her own whipped cream frosting. It never got old!Poke cake with Jell-O became popular in the late 1970s and 1980s, mainly because of the 1976 marketing campaign that introduced the recipe.

Tres leches cake is a beloved dessert throughout Latin America. This chocolate version is a fun twist, packing plenty of cocoa punch into the light, fluffy cake and whipped cream topping. Like classic tres leches cake, the chocolate version features the signature sweet flavor, the ultra-moist texture and the traditional combination of milks (tres leches translates to “three milks” in Spanish). Once the cake is cool, drizzle milk over it and let it rest so the milk soaks into the cake.

Luxuriously rich and sweet, dulce de leche turns an ordinary layer cake (or any dessert) into a dream. Tender yellow cake becomes dulce de leche cake when it’s coated in a frosting made with cream cheese and caramelized sweetened condensed milk. The caramel notes from the dulce de leche add so much flavor to this cake that you’ll want to drizzle even more on top of each slice.

This red, white and blue cheesecake salad doesn’t look like a typical salad studded with vegetables and greens. Oh, no. The creamy fruit salad features a tangy, fluffy sauce made from cream cheese, whipped topping and cheesecake-flavored instant pudding. It’s one of our favorite vintage-style recipes. This type of dessert salad was a hugely popular treat mid-century, when hostesses created colorful fruit dishes often gussied up with cutting-edge convenience foods like Jell-O and Cool Whip.
