Blueberry-Ginger Buckle
A member of the larger umbrella group of easy fruit desserts, a buckle features tons of fruit barely held together by tender cake. We're talking so much fruit that the cake buckles around it, hence the name. There are many regional buckle variations, and not all have a streusel topping. This particular recipe, however, has got lots of big crumbs—and we think you’ll be glad that’s the case.

Boozy Stovetop Pears with Yogurt
Amaretto is great if you have it, but, if not, substitute with any other brown liquor and it should work out just fine.

Easiest Caramel Apple Clafoutis
This easy, one-skillet apple dessert goes out to all the baking-phobes out there, because making something sweet shouldn't require all the bowls and measuring cups in your kitchen plus an advanced degree in chemistry. Pink Ladies and Granny Smiths are our go-to baking apples, but you can choose any kind you like as long as it has a firm texture and a good bit of acidity.

Peaches in Ginger Syrup with Buttermilk
You'll love this riff on classic peaches and cream.
