There's not much better than smelling the house filled with the aroma from cinnamon buns. These buns are nearly identical to the buns purchase from the Cinnabon chain of stores.

This is a classic French recipe also called Pate a Choux for making puffs that can be filled with any manner of filling savory or sweet. The most basic filling would be whipped cream. Crispy on the outside and wonderfully creamy on the inside.

Danish puff: a tender pastry base spread with an almond choux topping that bakes crisp, then settles into a soft, custardy layer under a sugar glaze. An impressive pastry from pantry staples.

This is an all-purpose filling that can be used for cookies, bars, etc. I use it most often to fill hamantaschen. Extremely simple and delicious.

Easy apple turnovers from refrigerated pie crust, filled with chopped apples, walnuts, and cinnamon sugar. Dipped in butter and rolled in extra sugar before baking.
