Everyone needs a perfect recipe for blueberry crumb cake, or at least everyone who loves blueberries and cake. This, tweaked from the great Maida Heatter, who passed away on Thursday at 102 wonderful years old, is mine.

A swirly assembly of buttery, crisp pastry rosettes in a vanilla-flecked custard that is way simpler to make (7 ingredients, 6 of which I bet you already have) than it looks. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or dessert; I hope you get to treat yourself.

The wildly decadent salted caramel crushed pretzel chocolate chunk blondies I never know I needed but replaced my original favorites immediately, possibly forever.

Closer to apple latkes than traditional breakfast pancakes, these fritters make us glad we picked too many apples again this year. It makes a lot, so halve the recipe or thank yourself tomorrow when you have a cozy breakfast all ready to rewarm.

New: Two perfectly-sized molten chocolate cakes that take under 15 minutes to both mix and bake, are flourless, mixed in one bowl, and use ingredients you probably have around...

A sunny, simple, lemony Italian tea cake with the most incredible texture -- firm and almost crunchy at the edges, rich and plush within. The glaze, applied directly onto the hot cake, makes it doughnut-like. You’re going to be so glad you baked this.

Crisp-edged, soft within, finished with a faint crunch of sea salt and absolutely *puddled* with chocolate:

My husband's favorite Thanksgiving dessert is (shockingly) not bourbon pumpkin cheesecake or even chocolate pecan pie but this: a buttery tart shell filled with fresh cranberries, cooked until collapsed in a salted butterscotch sauce with crunchy almonds.
