These pumpkin pie bars were highly requested over on my YouTube Channel and here on the blog! After a bit of testing (and plenty of taste testers--pumpkin pie is NOT my favorite!), I ended up pairing the crust from my pecan pie bars and the filling from my pumpkin pie recipe. The result? A thick, buttery shortbread-esque crust that holds a nice texture beneath perfectly spiced and creamy pumpkin pie filling. Best served beneath a healthy dollop of homemade whipped cream--yum!

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls are the ultimate fall breakfast treat. They are made with real pumpkin, perfectly spiced, and finished off with pumpkin's favorite pairing: cream cheese frosting (or your favorite frosting). Best enjoyed with a mug of coffee and your coziest sweatshirt!

Sourdough bakers, I have another treat for you! Today's sourdough pumpkin muffins can be made with sourdough discard or active sourdough starter. They have everything you'd want in your pumpkin muffins: super tender and moist texture, robust pumpkin flavor, and enough sugar and spice to keep things interesting. I just love them!

Introducing the dessert you'll make all fall long: apple cobbler! Oh boy, is this one a treat! Juicy sweet/tart apples paired with a soft, cinnamon/sugared biscuit-y topping, this apple cobbler is familiar, but elevated. It's warm and comforting, yet the taste is exquisite and feels gourmet.

These maple brown sugar cookies are one of my all-time favorite cookies. In fact, I love this recipe so much that it actually inspired me to create my super popular worst chocolate chip cookies after I realized how utterly amazing maple syrup tastes in cookie dough!

When you think of Thanksgiving desserts, do you think of pie? Most people do, but there are SO many other options! This curated list explores the many pie alternatives for your Thanksgiving dessert table.

How do you celebrate Halloween? Around here, we skip the horror and gore and instead go for all things spooky and sweet. Use this list of goodies for your next Halloween party, or spoil your trick or treaters with homemade treats--you'll be the talk of the neighborhood if you do!

Today I'm sharing a super moist and fall-spiced muffin. My nephews really loved these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and gave their stamp of approval (which I take very seriously!). They are tender with tall bakery-style muffin tops and they come together so quickly and easily. The flavor is amazing. I can't wait for you to try them!

Pumpkin recipes are in high-demand this time of year, and luckily, I have plenty to choose from. Whether you need a sweet breakfast treat or an impressive dessert, you will find something well-tested and absolutely irresistible in this list.

I'm not sure that there's a better, easier way to prepare apples than by slicing them up and cooking them in butter, sugar, and cinnamon on the stovetop. Today's fried apple recipe is one of my favorite ways to use up excess apples, a predicament I find myself in year after year (I've accepted that I simply have no self-control when apple picking).

While apples are technically available year-round here in the US, apple season is the best time to try one of my apple recipes. I am usually quite overzealous with my apple picking each year, which means I've had plenty of opportunities to develop recipes with this versatile fruit. Today I'm collecting them all in one place so you have a go-to guide for all of your apple baking needs!

What do you usually do with your Thanksgiving turkey leftovers?  Do you pick at them cold from the fridge, like my sister? Do you slap them on bread and have dry turkey sandwiches, like my dad? Or do you revive them by making something totally new, delicious, and cozy, like a turkey pot pie?

Whether you are hosting Thanksgiving this year or simply bringing a dish, side dishes should be a definite consideration. Do you want something creamy and rich, crisp and crunchy, soft and fluffy? Maybe even one of each? That's where this Thanksgiving side dishes recipe roundup comes in handy--I've put all the options in one easy list!

My family requests (demands) I make this sweet potato casserole recipe every year for Thanksgiving. It's a staple side dish on our holiday table, holding its own among its ever-popular peers (green been casserole and sausage stuffing, in our house anyway!).

Today's recipe is beautiful marriage of two flavors and two favorite desserts: creamy cheesecake (my favorite) and pumpkin pie (my husband's favorite!). Served over a crisp, crumbly graham cracker crust, this is a fall-flavored masterpiece that deserves a spot on your Thanksgiving table!

So what exactly are spice cookies? Well for starters, spice cookies are not the same thing as gingerbread men or gingersnap cookies. We won't be adding any molasses to this recipe (besides what is in the brown sugar!), and the resulting cookies will have a softer, chewier texture.

Similar to my recent gourmet cookie obsession, I've also been on a bit of a gourmet cheesecake kick lately. It all started with my salted caramel cheesecake, continued with my turtle cheesecake and peanut butter cheesecake, and today I'm taking things even further with this glorious apple pie cheesecake!

So far I've shared pumpkin cheesecake in classic form, as mini no-bake cheesecakes, and most recently, as cheesecake bars. Today, I'm taking things one step further and sharing pumpkin cheesecake cookies!

Subtly sweet and creamy, the flavors in this beautiful butternut squash soup pair so eloquently. This is a unique and satisfying soup that was truly made for fall!

The humble pot roast.

Not to be confused with hand pies, my apple pie cookies are gourmet cookies inspired by classic apple pie! They are so fun to make and would be a truly unique and welcomed addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table.

This caramel apple dip is perfect for when you're craving one of those gourmet, old-fashioned caramel apples, but don't want the hassle of making a whole batch. It's a fun dessert dip that's most commonly enjoyed in the fall, but now you can make it any time the caramel apple craving strikes!

Picture it now...warm, sugared and spiced juicy apples baked to tender perfection beneath a generous blanket of buttery crisp...are you ready for fall yet? Make a batch of this apple crisp, and you'll be there in no time!
