Dessert

These flavorful cupcakes are studded with grated apple and bits of cinnamon crumble, then topped with a luscious cinnamon buttercream. It's fall all the way.

This pie is both sweet and salty, which is my favorite dessert combination. The smoky bacon, mingling with the spiced apples and bourbon crust, is heavenly.

Earthy-sweet figs and bright lemon zest and juice give these cupcakes worlds of flavor. If you'd like, take them one step further with a silky cream cheese frosting.

Chia seeds thicken this dairy-free pudding as it sits: it's the perfect healthy, make-ahead dessert!

It’s pie without baking and an ice cream sundae without the fuss (not to mention the salted coconut crust). We call that a win-win-win.

This fragrant olive oil cake stays moist and flavorful for over a week, so feel free to make it a few days before serving. The caramel glaze is an optional, but highly recommended.

This North Carolinian cobbler-like dessert, with both a bottom crust and lattice top, is topped with a sweetened milk “dip” after baking for a time and then returned to the oven so that the dip forms a rich glaze.

This cobbler riff is made with a biscuit-like dough that gets rolled out, scattered with juicy blackberries, and then spiraled into a log.

No cheesecake roundup would be complete without this one, created by Santa Fe’s Three Cities of Spain coffeehouse (which closed in the mid-1970s) and our absolute favorite in the creamy category.

Don’t skip the vodka. It will give the sorbet a smoother, less icy texture.

Cardamom, pistachios, and lemon add a vibrant twist to this seasonal, jewel-toned dessert.

Treat this spoonable dessert as a vehicle for piles of your favorite peak-season fruit.

These super-moist and delicious cookies are made with a secret ingredient: banana!

This dairy-free ice cream is infused with matcha and a touch of organic vanilla, and has a rich, sweet flavor.
