Hi Reader!

Happy September bakers! The first signs of fall are here, and I've got your must-make bakes for this month. From apples and zucchini to all things cozy and spiced, these are ten of my favorite recipes I know you're going to love!

Scroll down for photos + links. Wishing you a wonderful week!

Welcome your cheeseboard's new best friend: Five-Spice Fig Jam! Effortlessly coming together, this freezer jam is warmed up with the cozy flavors of Chinese five-spice powder. It's perfect served with oozy cheese, a roasted turkey sandwich or smeared on freshly toasted sourdough. This recipe can also be made with plums.

"Lifesaver recipe! My middleschooler signed up to make caramel tarts for his French class food fair. I of course procrastinated thinking caramel is not difficult to make. Little did I know it is most definitely hard to make with the wrong recipe. I tried two other recipes and wasted lots of ingredients until I found this one. It turned out great the first time. Thanks a ton!!!"

"My husband LOVES snickerdoodles, and with an opened can of pumpkin in the fridge that needed using, I knew I had to make this recipe. These are so perfectly soft and were the best treat for this fall weekend! Now to go find some Demerara sugar to up my sugar coating game for next time…"

Perfectly imperfect crostata stuffed with fresh California Bosc pears (but any pear will do!) and bathed in Salted Honey Caramel. Heaven.

"Wow, wow, WOW. This zucchini bread is just wonderful!! After my usual zucchini bread recipe failed me twice in the last month and left us craving this delicious summer classic, I decided to try your recipe this morning and we are not disappointed! (. . .) ...and the result is a rich, warmly spiced bread with a tender, velvety crumb. Thank you for our new family-favorite zucchini bread recipe!"

"Hey Rebecca: I whipped up this cake in my hot kitchen with a fan. It was worth it! I wasn’t sure if we would like the olive oil but it turned out delicious. I only use California Olive Ranch which is expensive but worth it. Bill said this is one of the better things you’ve baked."

Hi Reader! Get ready for your new favorite cookie! I've been working on a recipe for us, and it's a game-changer.
