Baking recipes

Baking recipes for fruit desserts, crisp and flaky pastries, cakes, bars and no-bake crusts, from quick bakes to weekend projects. Fruit leads the way here: peach cobbler, peach crumble with almond flour, puff pastry peach galette, fresh fig tart and apple dumplings. For something faster, look at the 15-minute peach dessert or the no-bake blueberry pie.

Graham cracker bases run through the section, from baked and chocolate crusts to homemade graham crackers and toffee bars with pecans. Cakes range from a Mounds-style coconut cake to peaches and cream cake, and there are brownies, pumpkin pie, fry bread and no-knead Dutch oven bread. Check the time in each title to match your afternoon, and pick bars or crisps for a crowd, galettes and tarts when you want something to serve.
