Apple Pie

One of the best parts about this pie (besides the large tender chunks of cinnamon-sugar apple baked under a melt-in-your-mouth streusel topping) is the incredibly easy pat-in-the-pan pie crust. Don’t fuss with rolling out the pie crust; simply mix the dough and press it into the pan.

Baked Chicken Tenders

Make this healthier baked version of fried chicken tenders without sacrificing any of the flavor. For a fun and creative dinner, have a dipping sauce competition where every member of the family makes a dipping sauce. Then act as taste testers during dinner to select your favorites.

Cornbread

This cornbread has an intense corn flavor and a coarse texture. I like to make cornbread muffins but you can also bake it in a cake pan.

Pumpkin Bread

Nothing screams the arrival of autumn like the smell of pumpkin bread permeating the house. This year, I had a freezer full of homemade puréed baby foods (zucchini, sweet potato, summer squash and yams) that my son would no longer eat. Not wanting to waste the purées and wanting my son to eat his veggies, I decided to change tactics and turn the baby food into a sweet bread. Each time I’ve made this bread it has been moist and full of a rich, nutty, spicy autumn flavor.

Sourdough Pancakes

The sourdough starter makes these pancakes light and airy and gives them a subtle sourdough flavor. If you don’t have a starter in your family, you can make your own or even purchase one.

Baked Egg Rolls

Make this healthier version of egg rolls without losing any of the taste. I usually use egg roll wrappers for more substantially-sized rolls but wonton wrappers make smaller egg rolls that are the perfect size for a cocktail or tapas party.

Mud Pie

Mississippi is usually named as the origin of mud pie. This variation of it more closely resembles Hawaiian Hula Pie — a cookie crust topped with ice cream and a chocolate fudge sauce. Call it what you will, it’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
