Veggie Chili With Sweet Potato and Beans

This vegetarian chili is anything but boring, and it’s just as hearty as one made with meat – you won’t miss the beef at all. It has a slightly sweet flavor profile, which comes naturally from the sweet potatoes. If you want more heat in this chili, leave the seeds in one of the jalapeños – I find this adds a nice balance of spice.

The Quintessential Apple Pie

You don’t need to peel the apples, as most skins become soft in the baking, plus their tannins add flavor to the pie. If there is an apple with skin you find too thick, it’s just “off with their jackets!” as Henry Ward Beecher wrote. A mix of 6-8 different varieties, some for tart, some that hold their shape, and some that don’t, will give you a pie with exceptional flavor and texture. Makes one, 9-inch, deep-dish pie.

Spiced Apple Hazelnut Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is a sweet, sticky Bundt composed of dozens of dough balls, meant to be pulled from the loaf and enjoyed one at a time. The balls are rolled in sweet or savory ingredients before being pieced together, and other components — in this case, spiced apples and toasted hazelnuts — are sprinkled between the layers of dough before baking. It is officially impossible to eat only one piece of this treat, which is best served warm, while the dough is still soft.

Pecan Praline Bundt with a Caramel Glaze

This Bundt, a tender buttermilk cake dotted with spiced bourbon pecans, is loosely based on Southern pecan pralines, drizzled with a decadent salted, spiked caramel glaze. (You should probably make a double batch of this, since you’ll want extra to serve over ice cream.)
