Granny Smith Apple Brunch Cake
October, November, and December are my absolute favorite months of the year to be a baker. The holidays are right around the corner and fall is in full swing. The leaves are changing colors and I’m starting to crave fall foods and desserts. Some of my favorite ingredients come into season during the fall. Crisp apples. Pumpkin, which can be used in sweet or savory dishes. Butternut squash. Tart cranberries. The list goes on and on. And I literally can’t keep up with all the baked goods being imagined in my head.

Bookmarked!! Sounds awesome!
That sounds yummy! I don’t like goat cheese, but bet it would be good with feta too.
Sounds like a wonderful combo…except like Colleen, I’ve finally come to admit I don’t like goat cheese. Could use more cream cheese I suppose.
Goat cheese is my ultimate favorite! Can’t wait to try this delicious dip 🙂
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it! Although the cheddar cheese is throwing me off though – did it really match in flavor? Do you think something like asiago would work?
I agree Colleen, the cheddar does seem out of place. In all honesty, you couldn’t taste it. The goat cheese / cream cheese mixture and caramelized onions and cranberries are all pretty prominent flavors. I’m sure any shredded cheese would be fine.
Just posted this – delicious! It will be one of my standards from now on!
what do i do with the pecans if i choose to use them?
Lisa – I’d mix them into the Cranberry mixture or layer them between the cheese and the cranberry layers.
