Dessert

Tender, nutty, and studded with caramel-glazed apple halves, this is your new favorite apple cake. Ground nuts bring a toasty, deep flavor and tenderize the crumb by adding fat.

Coarse raw sugar gives these nutty, chocolate-laced cookies a subtle crunch in every bite.

Including yogurt in the base gives tang to this unconventional panna cotta and helps offset the sweetness of the rose syrup.

Don’t even think about lifting this cake out of the pan before it’s completely—and we mean completely—cool.

These are similar to classic shortbread, but with the warm, slightly nutty flavor of einkorn and rye. These little-used flours also make a great choice for baking due to their naturally lower gluten profile, which is exactly what you want in a sandy-style cookie for a tender crumb. 

These salty-sweet cookies have just the right amount of crunch and are delicious drizzled in chocolate. You can mix it up by swapping white chocolate for milk chocolate or colored candy melts to add a pop of color.

Topped with rich cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of vanilla caramel sauce, these fluffy apple treats are a fall must-have.

The best thing about this classic sesame-based confection (aside from the fact that it’s so delicious) is how easy it is to make at home.

This snack cake works with any kind (or mix) of seedless grapes. We prefer Thomcord grapes, which give the intense juicy punch of Concord grapes without the hassle of seeds.

To make this easy dessert, just roll out your dough, place the berries in the center, then fold the edges of the dough up and over before baking. Serve each slice with whipped cream or ice cream.

This galette is just as delicious and impressive as a pie, but half the work. The apples get a quick toss in fragrant fennel seeds and vanilla before filling the rustic, flaky crust.

Choose an assortment of plums, cherries, or combine peaches and nectarines in this easy stone-fruit dessert.

Our be-all end-all recipe, this all-butter crust works with nearly any fruit that’s in season (or arm’s reach).
