I’ll be honest — I used to think pears were just apples’ shy cousin. But once fall hit and I started baking with them? Game. Changer. Pears are soft, buttery, and soak up spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in the most magical way. Whether you’ve picked up a fresh batch from the farmers market…
The first time I made Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars was for a last-minute fall dinner party. I didn’t have time to fuss with a full cheesecake — so I layered everything into a bar instead. The result?

I wasn’t always a fan of butternut squash — until I baked it into muffins. One fall morning, with leftover roasted squash in the fridge, I took a chance.

If you’re anything like me, you’re craving cookies that are more than just sugar bombs — you want soft, chewy, spiced…
Let’s be honest—fall is basically dessert season in disguise. I mean, how can you resist all the cinnamon, maple, and pumpkin temptations dancing around this time of year? I certainly can’t.
