Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Enchiladas with Caramel Drizzle

It's time for the Lady Behind the Curtain dessert challenge! This month's challenge was to use pumpkin and cream cheese to create a unique dessert ... and I decided to step way outside of the dessert box and make some Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Enchiladas with Caramel Drizzle! I am not even joking!

Although this was good, I think next time, I may experiment with trying to figure out how to make the tortillas more firm before filling .... or maybe after filling? If you have any ideas - I would love to hear them! :)

Apple Crisp for One

If I had to confess, Fall is probably my second favorite season - with Spring being my favorite. If we were just talking about on a food level, Fall would win my vote hands down. Pumpkin, apples and lots of spices .... what's not to love? 
This month's Lady Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge was to use Apples and Cinnamon. I couldn't believe I didn't make or share any crisp recipes last year, so I thought I'd redeem myself this year with my Apple Crisp for One. Of course, it's easy enough to double, triple, quadruple ... or even make it times 20 if you want to. 



I made these using Gala apples, but any baking type apple would be great. If you're feeling super indulgent, you can drizzle a bit of caramel over the top and serve the crisp with a scoop of vanilla (or cinnamon - I've been looking for it in the stores, but haven't seen any locally yet!!) ice cream!
If you're a blogger and you are interested in learning more about the dessert challenge, be sure to stop by Sheryl's blog for more information! :) Let's check out that Apple Crisp for One now:


Apple Crisp for One
Printable recipe
Yield: 1 serving

1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Ice cream, optional

Place the chopped apples in a small greased ramekin. In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the oats and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the chopped apples. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Serve with ice cream, if desired.

Here are some other great recipes using Apples and Cinnamon:

Summer Peaches with Caramel & Pound Cake

What's your favorite summer fruit? Mine is definitely peaches! I love them and look forward to them all year! Growing up in Northern Florida, meant fresh Georgia peaches were always close in the summertime! 
I haven't been doing the Lady Behind the Curtain dessert challenges lately. I have had too many other things going on and I kept forgetting about it until it was too late .... but not this month! I told my bloggy friend, Linda from With A Blast, that I would be back this month - and since the theme was Peaches and Cream, I knew I had to be back and take part in this challenge! ;)
I wanted to keep this dessert fairly easy - and quick! Most of y'all know that I'm not about being complicated. You can have dessert in about 15 minutes with this recipe!
If you prefer Angel Food Cake over Pound Cake, I think it would be just as great! If you love peaches like I do, be sure to check out all of the other great recipes created for this challenge in the linky party below!

Summer Peaches with Caramel & Pound Cake
Printable recipe
Yield: 8 servings

1 (10 oz.) Pound Cake loaf (I found mine in the bakery section)
4 large, ripe but firm peaches, pits removed and fruit cut into wedges
4 tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. brown sugar
Homemade Caramel Sauce (you can use store bought if you prefer)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Cinnamon, optional

Slice the Pound Cake into 8 equal slices. Place on individual plates.

Place a large metal bowl and whisk in the freezer while you prepare the peaches.

In a medium pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the peaches. Cook and stir until the peaches begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir well. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes or until the brown sugar is completely melted and is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. 

Remove the bowl and whisk from the freezer. Whip cream until stiff peaks are about to form. Add the vanilla and sugar and continue to beat until peaks form. Do not over beat!

Place some of the cooled peaches evenly on top of the pound cake slices. Drizzle with desired amount of Caramel Sauce. Add a dollop of the fresh whipped cream. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
