    With tender, lightly sweetened apples under a crunchy, buttery oat topping, this single-serve crisp delivers peak fall comfort in just 10 minutes. The best part? You don't have to share a single bite.

  • Italian American Wedding Soup

    Despite its name, Italian wedding soup wasn't made for weddings—the "marriage" is between meat and greens. This Italian American take, with tender meatballs and a rich, savory broth, shows exactly why the pairing endures.

  • Atlantic Beach Pie

    This easy Southern classic pairs a salty cracker crust with a bright, citrusy filling for a cool, creamy dessert. It's a natural fit for summer—but judging by how often it's been saved this month, you all agree it hits the spot in November, too.

  • Easy, Cheesy Pull-Apart Garlic Knots

    How could you not love knotted bites of chewy, golden-crusted pizza dough tossed in butter, with flecks of garlic and cheese clinging to every nook and cranny? Add the waft of steam from their soft, pull-apart centers, and I'll say it: These might just be better than pizza. Judging by how often this recipe's been saved in November, our readers might agree.

    This maple walnut cake tastes like fall dressed up for the holidays. Two plush, nutty layers—made with ground walnuts, brown sugar, and maple syrup for deep, toffee-like flavor—are stacked and swooped with tangy maple–cream cheese frosting. A scattering of walnuts and a drizzle of syrup add the final flourish. It's a festive showstopper for Thanksgiving or any fall gathering, perfect for anyone who loves cake more than pie.

  • Egg-in-a-Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez

    Possibly the best—and messiest—breakfast sandwich in existence, this grilled cheese "eggsplosion" fuses two classics into one glorious creation: a gooey grilled cheese built on eggs-in-a-hole instead of plain bread. It's breakfast-meets-lunch genius.

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte Tiramisu

    We know, we know, this recipe is bound to elicit eye rolls and at least a few irate emails from Italian readers. And you know what? We don't care. Because, as annoying as the idea may sound, it works. And there's no denying the power of pumpkin spice come mid-November. This creamy tiramisu evokes the bittersweet, autumnal flavors of a pumpkin spice latte.
