Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits with Crockpot Apple Butter + Country Ham
There’s nothing more comforting for fall than homemade apple butter and buttermilk biscuits! Add in some country ham, and this unexpected combination is the perfect mix of sweet and salty and such a good autumn breakfast option, snack, or lunch! The apple butter could not be easier to make as you literally just throw everything in the crockpot and let it do all the work! I really worked with the amounts of sugar and spices to get just the right blend so it’s not overly sweet and you can taste the apple flavor even more. I also used this apple butter on my autumn cheeseboard and it was the perfect compliment to both sharp and milder cheeses. I love this biscuit recipe as well because they are perfectly fluffy, just the right amount of salty, and a little crisp on the edges.
Easy Crockpot Autumn Spiced Nuts
I made these autumn spiced nuts for my autumn cheeseboard workshop and they were a huge hit! I had made spiced nuts for the holidays in the oven before but this crockpot recipe was so much easier and actually dispersed the flavor a lot better. It also will fill your whole home with the smell of autumn which is a huge plus! The nuts have the perfect balance of sweet and salty ingredients and spices making them an easy snack or appetizer pairing. This recipe also makes such a quick and easy homemade gift for party favor!
How to Build a Bagel Brunch Board
Sometimes I feel like I should maybe just create a whole blog dedicated to my love of cheese and charcuterie boards! I have shared so many different charcuterie boards, ideas, and recipes over the years on here and it truly is my favorite meal both to serve and eat! Not only is it easy to prepare but I love how you can really wow guests with the overall presentation, PLUS it feeds a large crowd easily. This past weekend, I wanted to put a twist on my usual charcuterie board for a Saturday morning event, and the bagel brunch board was born! Seriously who doesn't love bagels with alllll the fixings?! I included everything you need for both savory and sweet bagels and once I got going picking out ingredients, it was hard to stop! There are so many possibilities for this and I love that you can personalize it to your preferences or whatever your crowd may like. I got all my ingredients for this from Trader Joe's which is my favorite spot for picking up unique and delicious cheese board ingredients. I've listed all the items I used below as well as tips for assembling your own beautiful brunch board like a pro!
