APPLE-WALNUT COOKIES
I've gotten into the habit of baking a dozen or so cookies to eat now and then freezing what remains for another day. Whether you're having a dinner party, last-minute guests, or just want a spur-of-the-moment treat, always having homemade cookies on hand--instead of a box of store-bought cookies that will be stale within a week--is just about the coziest thing ever.

BAVARIAN APPLE TORTE
This rich, creamy torte has always been one of my favorite autumn desserts. Mom uses the freshest apples from a local orchard and bakes this treat until the apples are crisp-tender. It tastes as good as it looks. -Alyson Armstrong, Parkersburg, West Virginia

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
- Serve the cake with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.
