It’s not just Halloween candy that brings indulgence and sweetness in the fall! This Autumn Harvest Cheddar Tart makes the most of two fruits at their peak this time of year: pears and apples. When baked with Cheddar cheese and pumpkin pie spice, their natural sweetness hit just right with the popular cheese’s savory notes.
