Light Peach Pie

Light Peach PieWhen peaches are in season, this Light Peach Pie recipe is refreshing and easy to make. I pinned a version of this recipe from Danielle Kronmuller, who pinned it from Taste of Home.

The original recipe is for a light strawberry pie which I’ve also made before, but I just happened to have some fresh peaches on hand so I made peach instead! If you have a few blueberries on hand you can mix some of them into the pie. It could be made with raspberries also. You have access to fresh fruit almost all year long so the possibilities are endless. Just go with the fruit of the season!

We love versatile recipes here at the PinterTest Kitchen.

Plus, this is a healthier pie than most! For someone that has to watch their sugar intake, this pie recipe uses sugar-free or lighter ingredients.

Raspberry Coffeecake Muffins

Raspberry Coffeecake MuffinsThese muffins are the best muffins ever. I’ve tried a lot of recipes for muffins and you can throw most of them away. This recipe makes muffins that are moist and flavorful, and you can customize them for your family.

I pinned a version of this recipe from Lori Manning. This was originally a Barefoot Contessa Recipe.

This time I made raspberry, but i have already made blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, peach and mixed  berries. You can use fresh or frozen fruit. Gotta love a versatile recipe!

I also have jumbo muffin tins, which I usually use. I also lighten the sugar by using 1/2 cup of spenda and 1 cup of white sugar instead of 1 1/2 cups of white sugar. You can use regular-sized tins if you want, as well as full sugar if you want to be extra naughty with the recipe.

Make a few batches and freeze them. They freeze well when individually wrapped in aluminum foil. They are always disappearing from my freezer

Oh So Easy Blueberry Snack Cake

Finished Blueberry Snack Cake

I didn’t find this recipe on Pinterest but this is a quick and easy cake that I have been making for a long time.

I found a version of this recipe in the 2004 Taste of Home Annual recipe book and also found a version online.

It is easy, just like the chocolate muffins Allison posted last week, but make sure you read the WHOLE recipe so you don’t forget to save your crumbs for the topping like I did.

Whoops!

Crispy Apple Crisp with Extra Crisp

Crispy Apple Crisp with Extra CrispY’all, I am not lying when I say this is one of the best desserts of all time. I know that my last recipe was so easy it made you want to kiss someone, but this apple crisp is so good that you will NOT want to kiss someone. Because if you’re kissing, you can not shovele more apple crisp into your mouth.

This recipe is straight from the kitchen of the Boyers. Mama Boyer (Sharon) used to make it all the time growing up, and still does, but I’ve made some key improvements. Okay key improvement, singular. The one thing this recipe has always needed is more crisp.

So, I’ve given it more, hence that super crispy name. It’s appropriate to post this recipe today, as I am also super crispy from being in the sun too long last weekend. This apple crisp is a metaphor for my life – sweet and crispy and always better with ice cream.

But I digress. On to the recipe!
