Autumn is a time where we shift gears, slow down, and take in the changing of the seasons. At least that’s what I’d like to do! With three holidays three months in a row, to be honest it feels like it’s full steam ahead. If I want any kind of slow down or mental break, I have to carve that time out and make myself take that time.

Maple Butter Tarts are just the essence of autumn – sweet, buttery morsels full of that earthy maple goodness. The fact that they’re tarts make them that much easier to serve at parties or give away. Or have with a nice cup of tea or cup of coffee. I think they’re too decadent to make all year round, but are perfect for the holidays, though I think some Canadians might strongly disagree!
