This simple, tomato-lovers' pizza is inspired by a classic pie served in Trenton, New Jersey.

This is not your average breakfast muffin. Imagine a fudgy brownie—chocolatey, rich, ringing every bell—and then picture yourself dancing around your kitchen, exuberant with the knowledge that these are sweetened with just bananas, applesauce, and cocoa powder. That’s something to get up for in the morning! And I’ll say what I want to say without saying it: Fiber never tasted so good.

Peach lattice is a beautifully classic summer pie. A drizzling of rich, buttery bourbon caramel over each slice heightens the naturally lush sweetness of ripe peaches—ditto a scoop of ginger ice cream on the side.

I have a love of potatoes that is unlike any other love. I grew up eating them often as a kid—almost every day—so now I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate this versatile vegetable into my everyday life. There’s just something so special about biscuits loaded with shredded potatoes, cheddar cheese, and chives. I can’t put it into words, but I feel like I don’t have to because you get it. It’s the baked potato you never knew you wanted . . . in biscuit form.

This naturally gluten-free cake is impressive enough for special occasions but secretly easy enough to make in less than an hour.

This spin on the home cooking favorite is a nod to a classic Southern combination: iced tea and cornbread. Here, the tea makes a sweet and shiny glaze and the delicate sweetness of fresh corn kernels balances out the buttery bread. Muffins are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, but you could also make it in a cast-iron skillet and serve family style. Beware, your overnight guests may never leave.

Because when you call it a pizzetta, it's totally okay to have an extra slice.

If the dough starts to soften as you form these, pop it back in the fridge for ten minutes to firm back up.

Parbaking the crust of this blueberry pancake–flavored custard pie ensures the bottom will be crisp when it’s done.

If you love corn muffins and blueberry jam, you’ll love this seasonal dessert.

An old classic that relies on a few new tricks to make the most ethereal coconut cream pie imaginable.

To make this stunning tart, we took the ingredients for a double pastry crust in another direction, turning some into a bottom crust and the rest into a sweet streusel topping.

Whether you call them magic bars or seven-layer (or sometimes five-layer) cookies, you probably know these treats. Chunky bits—like chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut—get layered over sticky condensed milk and a crisp cookie crust.
