As soon as the weather turns crisp here in New England, my oven barely gets a day off. These are the fall baking recipes that have earned a permanent spot in my seasonal rotation - the ones I reach for on slow weekend mornings, by the fire on lazy afternoons, and for holiday brunches when I want the house filled with the smell of cinnamon, pumpkin, and brown butter. From apple cinnamon coffee cake with a golden streusel topping to pumpkin chocolate chip muffins that come together in one bowl, each recipe has been tested until it's just right. Grab a cup of coffee and let's get baking.
