It's always fun to look back through the year's posts and see which ones have taken the top spots as your favorites ... and especially which recipe takes top-billing as the #1 most-viewed of all.
But why 15 top best recipes, you ask?
Isn't it usually a top 10 list at the end of the year?
Yes, it is ... but it's always way too hard for me to stop at 10. Some of your favorites are really close in numbers, so I decided to just go ahead and include a few bonus posts, as well. A little extra deliciousness is always a good thing.

The apple cousin of #15's peach version. Their warm crescent roll crust, tender fresh apple filling, and cinnamon-sugar goodness baked on top make these a perfect fall comfort food dessert. And apparently you all agreed!
