Here is Chakula again with another recipe with apples. Indeed, this year apple season is rich. And cakes should be made frequently, so let’s get to it. As for the gallettes, I look at photos od this dessert on Instagram all summer, filled with seasonal fruit, so I needed to follow this trend.  I added nectarines with the apples, and you can add whatever seasonal fruit you wish.

The first days of September are usually the firsts day of school. And even if you do not have a school kid in the house, I think we all remember school days. September brings the first autumn leaves, but also rain. Certainly it means that we will be more likely to be home and, of course, cook. In September, in the season are: pumpkin, chestnuts, figs and apples. Butternut pumpkin is certainly one of the most popular autumn foods for preparing both salty and sweet dishes. You can use it in soups, pasta, risotto, but also in delicious cakes....
