Ah, there’s just so much to love about autumn. The weather is crisp, there are plenty of fun activities to participate in, and (our favorite) the food! There’s pumpkin-flavored everything everywhere, which we love, but we think it’s time to give apples a place in the spotlight. Fall Bubble-Up Bake showcases some juicy, freshly picked apples with some warm and fluffy cinnamon rolls. Um, yum! Don’t even get us started about the gooey, rich cream cheese goodness tossed in and the creamy icing drizzled on top. We think we just found one more reason why we love this time of the year so much! Start your fall morning off in the most delicious way with some Fall Bubble-Up Bake!
