There’s no getting away from it, pumpkin-spice season has descended on Williamsville, NY, and rather than fight it, we’re embracing all the cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice goodness. Today the StoneGate Apartment Homes Blog is sharing a variety of recipes for baked goods that feature pumpkin-spice and everything nice! But first some information about how to choose fresh pumpkins for baking if you opt to head to a pumpkin patch. The Spruce has a Pumpkin Guide to help you pick the kind of pumpkin you want to bring home. Sugar Pies are great for pies, and if you like baking, you’ll want to pick a Sweet Meat pumpkin. Of course, you can always pick up canned pumpkin at your favorite WNY grocery store.
