Apple Crisp

One of the definitive desserts of fall, apple crisp is easy and economical. Test kitchen tip: Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples are especially good in this recipe.

Old-Fashioned Apple Pie

The words "apple pie" conjure warmth, aroma, taste, and togetherness. This apple pie recipe is filled with Granny Smith apples and is tucked into a buttery pie crust. To make this apple pie recipe even sweeter, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Classic Sangria

Give this popular Spanish drink time to sit—the longer the fruits and wine get to know each other the better.

Apple Crumble

With the crisp autumn air comes an opportunity to use freshly-picked apples in everything from salads to pies. If you aren't sure where to start with your bushel, try this classic crumble. Easy enough to throw together on a whim, it contains all of the warm flavors of fall in every bite.

Glazed Apple Fritters

Thanks to a yeasted dough and a blend of flours, these glazed apple fritters strike the perfect balance between crisp and doughy, and are a decadent way to start the day or end a meal. Giving diced Granny Smith apples a quick sauté in butter before incorporating into the dough benefits the recipe in two ways: it avoids extra moisture from seeping into the dough when frying (which causes gumminess), and it ensures a fritter with a concentrated apple flavor in every bite.

A cross between pie and a fruit crisp, this dramatic dessert is made with just six common ingredients.

Apple Pie

Baking a pie from scratch takes a little patience, but watching your friends and family enjoy the results makes it all worthwhile.

Cinnamon-Swirl Apple Slab Pie

This fun, cinnamon-scented twist on apple pie can feed a crowd while wow-ing them at the same time. The same homemade pie dough forms both the base crust and the topping—the magic happens when a sweetened cinnamon-butter is spread on half of the dough and rolled up like a log and chilled. Once sliced into swirly rounds, they're shingled on top of the baking sheet of spiced apples and baked until golden brown and bubbly. You can find a step-by-step photo guide to assembling the top crust here.
