Apple picking, hayrides, and stunning foliage mean it’s time to shift mental gears into one of our favorite seasons: Autumn. And there's nothing like those sunny days that give way to crisp, cool nights to get you in the mood for a little baking.

When it’s time to treat your sweet tooth to a splurge, whip up one of these fall desserts. We've got recipes for beautiful pumpkin pies (and decadent pumpkin alternatives), classic maple cookies, no-bake s'mores in a jar, and even some healthy alternatives like sautéed apples.
