Pear-Cranberry Cobblers

This cookie is an unintended “celebrity.” It’s one of very few cookies that customers ask for specifically upon arrival at Mokonuts.

Not your grandma’s bran muffins, these fiber-rich baked goods are loaded with dates, almonds, and slivers of dark chocolate.

This no-oven-needed crisp can be made with almost any fresh berry (we’d avoid raspberries) and comes together within 45 minutes.

This apple cake is the poster child for fall.

With tender buttermilk cake layers, a cranberry jam so good you’ll want it on toast, and a silky white chocolate frosting, this is a cake that’s equal parts impressive and achievable.

These pinwheel-style swirls pair classic sugar cookie dough with cranberry and red wine jam. They’re equally at home on a cheese plate and served as dessert.

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.
