File_000.jpeg

Fall is officially here! Bring on the cool weather, fall decorations, and best of all, the delicious treats. If you love fall as much as me, you do every possible fall related activity you can. There are so many fun things to do in the fall like go to football games, have bonfires, and  wear cute flannels. My favorite thing to do is apple picking. What better thing to do with those apples than to make treats? I love cheesecake and I thought it would be fun to put a sweet fall spin on that classic desert.
