How to weave a quilted pie crust
Tuck a new quilt over your classic apple pie (or another pie of choice) and transform a traditional dessert into a stunning — and snuggly — rendition.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
This pie satisfies both cheesecake and pumpkin pie lovers with two favorite desserts in one. Warm pumpkin spices and creamy cheesecake complement each other beautifully. This crowd-pleasing pie now comes complete with a gingersnap crust to add even more warmth, color, and spice to this centerpiece-worthy dessert.
All-Butter Pie Crust
This flaky, tender, simple pie crust relies on butter for both its flakiness and wonderful flavor. Pair it with apple pie, mixed berry pie, or really any of your favorite pie fillings. (There's not much that butter doesn't make better!) This all-butter pie dough is a back-pocket recipe you'll want to pull out again and again.
Parker House Rolls
These feather-light, buttery rolls were a 19th-century staple of the Parker House, a famous Boston hotel — the same hotel that in 1855 created the first Boston Cream Pie. So what makes a Parker House roll special? Butter. A buttery fold during the shaping process (and butter brushed on after they're baked) give them over-the-top flavor. An egg, milk, and a fair amount of butter in the dough give them fine and tender texture. All in all, this Boston-based roll is a bread-basket classic.
Easy Cheesecake
Never mind the sour cream, farmer's cheese, cream cheese, water bath, and worrying about a sunken center. The filling for this delicious, easy cheesecake recipe has just four simple ingredients, and the cake bakes in a mere 30 minutes. Now THAT'S easy!
Apple Pie
Apple pie: American icon, most popular pie, and the ONE dessert everyone has to make for Thanksgiving. With its flaky, buttery crust; tart-sweet apples, and wonderful cinnamon-y aroma, a slice of warm apple pie is the perfect end to any repast, from casual lunch to elegant dinner. Add vanilla bean ice cream, and you’ve got a dessert for the ages.

Ginger Pumpkin Bread
We all recognize the familiar pumpkin bread baked in a loaf pan. But this bread is an entirely new experience: while classically spiced it’s only mildly sweet, and is leavened with both instant yeast and sourdough starter instead of the more traditional baking powder or soda. Even more striking is its pumpkin-like shape: If you’re looking for a centerpiece for your autumn gathering, this is the prettiest bread you’ll ever see.
Amish Dinner Rolls
This recipe was inspired by one in a small handwritten Amish cookbook; thus its name. And my, oh my, are these rolls good! Dense yet still tender, moist but not at all heavy, these are the quintessential soft dinner roll. Mashed potato gives them both their soft texture, and staying power: they'll remain moist and fresh-tasting at room temperature for several days, meaning they're a good candidate for make-ahead in preparation of your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
Ginger Apple Cream Pie
This isn't your average run-of-the-mill Thanksgiving pies. Rich cream and ripe apples are married with two forms of spicy ginger: powdered for a little zip in the crust, and candied in the filling for warm spice in every bite.
