Cinnamon Rolls are our favorite way to secretly eat dessert for breakfast. In this seasonal spin on the classic, we layer the pillowy rolls with store-bought (or homemade!) apple butter, toasted pecans and cinnamon sugar.

Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Salted Maple Frosting

Curtis Stone’s Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberry-Maple Syrup
“One of my best memories is watching my mum flipping her perfect blueberry pancakes on the griddle as we lounged by the table reading the paper.
