Fall Baked Beans
These baked beans are the perfect plant-based dish for autumn meals, with maple syrup and seasonal flavors that will take you right into cozy sweater weather. They hit all the notes I need in homemade baked beans from nuanced sweetness to the woodsy quality of thyme. In this recipe, tomato puree lends more brightness than commonly used ketchup, and rye whiskey adds the necessary touch of smokiness. When you return home from picking apples, remember to save one for this recipe. A brief cook prepares chopped apples for the baking dish and ensures they cook up tender but not too soft. Before reading through the ingredient list, you can watch…

Baked Apples
With apples in peak season from autumn until the beginning of winter, now is the time for warm apple desserts made with brown sugar and cinnamon, ones that make you want to cozy up at home today and pick more from the orchard tomorrow. For these baked apples, I top halves generously like a crisp and bake until the middles become tender.

The topping stays crunchy, but those rounded edges melt into a…

Pumpkin Butter Dessert Wontons
Even though the weather may let us go pumpkin picking in our shorts, we are squarely in autumn, and menus everywhere are celebrating the season with pumpkin spice items ranging from chai to doughnuts. At home, the menu has become pretty pumpkin-filled as well. This weekend I used homemade pumpkin butter to make dessert wontons that turned out so deliciously I just had to share them with you Quite a few of my loved ones look forward to pumpkin dishes but pass on ones with a heavy dose of pie spices, so I tend to use just enough to bring out the natural flavor of the star ingredient. Adding some…

Maple Pumpkin Crumble
Satisfy your autumn cravings with a new take on the seasonal fruit crumble. The crumb layer that tops this maple pumpkin dessert is tasty, generous, and made without a bit of butter. As for the filling, it’s sweetened only with maple syrup and much lighter than a traditional pumpkin filling. If you’re like me and enjoy sweets on the regular, seasonal crumbles are probably high on your list of go-to desserts. From time to time, they need a little shake up though. That’s where the olive oil based crumb and lighter approach to pumpkin come into play. As you know from my chocolate chip olive oil muffins and some dessert…
