September Catch-Up! 🍁| Pinch of Yum

[september-header.jpg] Hellllllloo, fall! Doesn’t September kind of feel like the New Year? New starts, new routines, new goals, new everything. We’re here for it. September also welcomes in the official start of the best food season of the year. We’re talking apple-y treats, pumpkin eats, warm cozy pasta, and all the soup and chili. And if you have the game on in the background on a Sunday afternoon? Well you are just doing things VERY RIGHT. Here’s how else we’ve been celebrating September! --------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone’s Favorite Recipe this Month [apple-cake-slice.jpg]( Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake This cinnamon sugar apple cake is just one of those things that is very regular but somehow elevates the day just a little bit. It’s low maintenance, highly snackable, and 100% as warming, fragrant, and cozy as a basic apple cake should be.
