I started making my Thanksgiving sweet potatoes like this a few years ago and haven't looked back. When slow-roasted, sweet potatoes get sweeter, louder, and more nuanced than seems possible. The salty, lightly blackened skin provides a heavenly, crispy contrast.

These tender breakfast buns infused with orange zest and wound with a brown sugar cranberry filling that becomes almost jammy as they bake are exquisitely good right now or for any holiday breakfasts you have ahead. They’re one of my all-time favorite recipes.

Apples, butterscotch, and gingerbread star in my favorite upside-down cake of all time. A big dollop of softly whipped cream on top is a requirement. I recently refreshed it; it's now more spiced, uses fewer bowls, and is scaled down to fit in a 9-inch pan.

These balsamic-braised brussels sprouts from @suzannegoin are perfect in every way -- shallots, garlic, crisped pancetta, and balsamic all mingle together and infuse the tender brussels sprouts. A smattering of crisped thyme breadcrumbs finishes it off.

A no-boil, one-skillet, utterly cozy and decadent baked macaroni and cheese that’s become my forever go-to. I think you make it immediately as written for dinner tonight, and then double it for all of the holiday crowds ahead.

"Make apple pie? On a Tuesday?!" I promise, I haven't finally lost it, you can absolutely pull off minimalist apple pie with a flaky crust and sliced apples dotted with butter and sprinkled with sugar, and your weekday will be so much better for it.

A orange-zested cranberry pecan bread studded with tart berry gems and finished with a snowglobe-like crunch on top so perfect it makes me forget every quickbread that came before it (pumpkin who?) and also converted me to enjoying nuts in loaf cakes.

There’s good roast chicken, and then there’s Judy Roger’s legendary approach — dry brine (a fancy term for salting and leaving it), crazy crisp skin and a salad that’s akin to deconstructed stuffing. This is one of my favorite luxurious but low-key fall dinners.

These are fixation-worthy apple dumplings. When you cut into each packet, flakes of buttery crust scatter and a trickle of spiced brown sugar floods your plate, mingling with the whiskey-infused glaze that had melted over the sides.

This pasta bake is savory fall brilliance. Everything is tossed raw into a springform and what emerges is resplendent: layers of tender squash and spinach with noodles, burnished to a snatch-able crisp on top, the aroma of toasted cheese everywhere.

A 16-year site favorite in which two minor-seeming things -- flaky sea salt and brown butter -- transform crispy treats from a "kid thing" to something so good it's hard to share with a kid -- or anyone. No matter where I take them, they never last 30 minutes.
