Quesadillas are no stranger to our kitchen. I don’t think there’s an easy lunch, breakfast, or dinner that I make more often. But, this recipe for a bacon quesadilla was the result of a busy morning when I was rushing to put together breakfast for my boys. I realized I had some leftover bacon in the refrigerator, and the rest is history. Don’t worry if you don’t happen to have leftover bacon on hand, though. I have full instructions for cooking bacon in the oven, here.

Bacon Quesadilla

Whether I’m pressed for time or just want something easy to make, quesadillas are hard to beat. As a result, they’ve been a last-minute family dinner more than a few times. And, since you’ll only need one skillet to cook everything, it makes this kind of dinner one that I (in all of my dishwashing hating glory) am happy to make!

I love the combination of crispy, salty bacon and gooey cheese. Add in some sharp green onions, and you’ve got an easy dinner option that’s got something for everyone. For an added spicy kick and some cool, creamy, tanginess, we like to serve with a side of salsa and sour cream.

The best part of this apple cake recipe isn’t the apples or even the warm caramel sauce. It’s the part nobody expects, and I could honestly eat it all by itself.

This easy apple cake recipe is loaded with fresh apples and warm spices, then served warm with homemade caramel sauce. It’s perfect for fall!

As the cake bakes, the top gets slightly caramelized and chewy, and it is ridiculously delicious. Add that warm caramel sauce and this fresh apple cake is pretty hard to beat.

Why You’ll Love This Apple Cake Recipe

  • Loaded with fresh apples: Three cups of apples keep every bite moist and full of apple flavor.
  • That chewy, caramelized top: The top gets slightly chewy and caramelized as the cake bakes, and it might be my favorite part.
  • Warm fall spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves give this apple cake that classic, old fashioned flavor.
  • Easy homemade caramel sauce: The warm caramel sauce takes the cake completely over the top.
  • No fancy decorating: Bake it in one pan, spoon caramel over each serving and you’re done!

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Apple Cake

  • Sugar: Sweetens the cake and helps create that irresistible, slightly caramelized top.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds extra moisture and a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
  • Butter: Gives the apple cake a rich flavor and tender texture. Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing.
  • Eggs: Add structure, richness and moisture to the cake.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and enhances all those apple and spice flavors.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cake its structure while keeping it soft and tender.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and brings out all the other flavors.
  • Nutmeg: Adds a warm, slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with apples.
  • Cinnamon: The must-have apple spice! It adds warmth and that classic fall flavor.
  • Ground Cloves: Just a little adds a deep layer of warm spice without overpowering the apples.
  • Baking Soda: Helps the cake rise and contributes to its tender texture.
  • Baking Powder: Gives the cake additional lift so it doesn’t become too dense.
  • Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work great here. Granny Smith brings a tart contrast to the sweet cake, while Honeycrisp adds a sweeter, juicy crunch.

This easy cinnamon roll pull-apart bread has all the buttery cinnamon-sugar flavor of homemade cinnamon rolls, without all the work! The dough is quickly rolled into balls, coated in melted butter and covered in gooey cinnamon filling then spread with luscious cream cheese frosting.

It’s basically what would happen if our favorite homemade cinnamon rolls and monkey bread got together, except I might like this version even more because you don’t have instead of being rolled into individual spirals you just roll, dunk, coat and bake!

And whatever you do, don’t skip the frosting while the bread is warm. It melts down between all those cinnamon-y pieces and you’re looking at the gooiest pan of deliciousness.

Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread

  • Cinnamon sugar in every bite: Because every dough ball gets individually coated, you’re not waiting to reach the cinnamon swirl in the middle.
  • Incredibly soft dough: Heavy cream and buttermilk help make the homemade yeast dough rich, tender and fluffy.
  • No rolling or cutting: Unlike cinnamon rolls, there’s no rectangle to roll out, fill, roll up and slice.

Dough

  • Warm water: Provides the warm liquid needed to activate the yeast. It should feel warm, never hot.

  • Sea salt: Essential for balancing the sweetness a
