Dessert

Don’t feel hemmed in by the phrase “dessert”-- these are sweet things that can be served any time you want. After dinner, “mid-day snack,” and occasionally, breakfast.

Apples with Honey and Crushed Walnuts

It’s meant to be more acidic than sweet, but adjust with vinegar and honey as needed to suit your preference. A note: Nearly everyone who ate this salad said it was their favorite part of the whole meal, which bruised my matzo ball ego, but I thought you should know.

Sticky Apple Cake

This custardy, caramelized cake is the best vessel for all your beautiful fall apples, bar none.

Blueberry Cornmeal Tart

With jammy blueberries, a crunchy, buttery cornmeal crust, and preferably some vanilla ice cream on the side, this tart is not only delicious—it’s shockingly easy to make.

Salted Apricot-Honey Cobbler

Bring this nutty, jammy, not-too-sweet cobbler out at the end of your next dinner party with a pint of vanilla ice cream. Everyone will love it.

Perfect, Crispy Pancakes

These pancakes are even more perfect topped with cold, tart marmalade.

Salted Butter and Chocolate Chunk Shortbread

It’s cookie season! Make these for yourself, your neighbor, or your cookie swap.

Deep-Dish Honey Apple Galette

This is a real showstopper of a dessert, and is a welcome way to end any holiday meal.

Tiny, Salty, Chocolaty Cookies

These cookies are a sweet treat for your neighbor, your friend, your lover, yourself, or anyone who could use a boost right now.

Black and White Sundae Bar

This is less a recipe for a sundae bar, and more a recipe for for the two sauces that accompany, crunchy bittersweet chocolate (essentially a homemade chocolate shell) and salty tahini caramel.
