Let the fall baking begin! 🍂

Hello Reader,

Fall is one of my favorite times to bake. Apples and pears, warm spices, brown sugar, caramel, pecans — there are so many good flavors to bring into the kitchen this time of year.

So, consider this your official invitation to start fall baking! I’ve gathered ten favorites to get us going, with everything from muffins and cookies to cozy fruit desserts and plenty of caramel, nuts, and chocolate.

Apple Cider Donut Cake
All the cozy flavor of apple cider donuts gets baked into an easy Bundt cake, complete with a buttery cinnamon-sugar coating.

Autumn Spice Pear Cobbler
Tender pears and warm spices bake underneath a sweet cobbler topping in this longtime reader favorite.

Pecan Praline Muffins
Soft muffins filled with plenty of pecans get topped with a rich praline topping for an extra-special fall breakfast or snack.

Caramel Apple Crumb Cake
Apples, caramel, and a buttery crumb topping come together in a cake that checks quite a few fall-baking boxes at once.

Apple Butter Cream Cheese Oat Bars
Layers of apple butter and cream cheese sit on top of a buttery oat crust for an easy bar with plenty of fall flavor.

Mini Pecan Pies
Everything you love about classic pecan pie gets scaled down into individual little pies that are as fun to serve as they are to eat.

Gingerdoodle Cookies
These soft, chewy cookies combine the warm spices of ginger cookies with the spice-and-sugar coating of a snickerdoodle.

Pecan Lovers’ Brownies
Rich, fudgy brownies packed with pecans prove that chocolate deserves a place in fall baking, too.

Salted Caramel Almond Bars
Buttery shortbread topped with gooey salted caramel and almonds makes a sweet-and-salty treat that’s especially hard to resist.

Brown Sugar Pound Cakes
These little pound cakes get plenty of rich brown sugar flavor in both the cakes and their sweet, creamy frosting.

Whether you’re ready to go all-in on fall baking or just starting to think about it, I hope something here makes you want to turn on the oven.

Happy baking!
