Easy Almond Bear Claw

 

Photo recipe:  Mom On Timeout

"Bear claw pastry is one of life’s simple pleasures. Today, I’m making it even easier to enjoy with the help of a puff pastry. Puff pastry is a delicious shortcut that will save you tons of time in the kitchen while still giving you the same, flaky, buttery pastry."  Comment from Mom On Timeout

Delicious puff pastry to the recipe for making this a super easy recipe.  Love almond bear claws so much and the recipe sounds like a winner for me.

Raspberry Blondies

"The magic of these white chocolate raspberry blondies is all in the details. Using frozen raspberries helps them hold their shape while baking, so the bars stay soft instead of turning soggy. The handful of sliced almonds adds just enough crunch without weighing down the batter, creating the perfect balance of soft and chewy. Slightly underbaking the blondies keeps the centers tender, while the edges set beautifully, giving you those bakery-style bites every time."  Comment from Easy Dessert Recipes

These raspberry blondies look very interesting.  I love raspberries and would like to try them.

"Boston Cream Pie is an all-American classic that boasts two layers of moist vanilla sponge cake with a silky smooth pastry cream filling sandwiched in between, and it’s all topped with a decadent chocolate ganache. Contrary to it’s name, it’s actually not a pie, but a cake that dates back to the 1800s! It’s one sweet treat that’s both elegant and bursting with flavor!"  Comment from Glorious Treats

Love this cake, but have not had it in years.  Would love to make this!

"These air-fryer apple pie bombs deliver all the comforting flavors of homemade pie—without the hassle of rolling, chilling or waiting. Each bite is a burst of gooey apple filling wrapped in a crisp, sugary shell that tastes as if it came straight from a bakery case. Serve them warm with a drizzle of caramel or a scoop of the best vanilla ice cream, and you’ll never look at traditional apple pie the same way again."  Comment from Taste of Home

These little apple pie bombs are a definite winner that I will be making soon.

Cherry Dump Cake UPDATED

It doesn't get easier than dumping three ingredients in a pan and baking it.

Can't wait to serve it warm with some ice cream!

Gotta love dump cakes!

UPDATE

After making this dump cake, I need to make a few notes to add to the recipe.

First of all, after dumping all ingredients into the pan, stir until the cake mix is moistened.  We found that just dumping them into the pan left some spots "floury" after baking and left too many crunchy pieces throughout the cake.

Otherwise, the taste was excellent, but was very sweet and almost needs whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to offset the sweetness.

We really liked it and will be making it again!

"These orange cookies are soft and tender with plenty of fresh orange flavor, thanks to both zest and juice in the dough, and finished with a spooned-on orange icing that sets beautifully on top.  

A combination of butter and cream gives them a rich, bakery-style texture, while a touch of almond extract adds a little extra depth without sealing the spotlight from the citrus."  Comment from Bake or Break

Citrus pastries are among my favorites.  These orange cookies sound delicious and I need to make them.

"Our Key lime pound cake somehow manages to be both substantial and airy—it's a textural dream. It's also infused with the zesty zing of fresh Key limes. That's thanks to both lime zest and Key lime juice, a dynamic, flavorful duo that really shines in this recipe. The icing on the cake (literally) is a gorgeously silky and wonderfully tart Key lime glaze."  Comment from Southern Living

This pound cake sounds awesome.  Lemon pound cake is one of my favorite cakes and key lime has to be much better.
