One of my favorite things to do lately on Sunday nights is hop on Instagram. I rarely spend much time scrolling or watching stories — that’s just never been my thing. What I love to do instead is go straight to my DMs and look through all of your messages. Most of the Saturday and Sunday notes are tags from you guys sharing what you’re baking on your own stories! It’s so clear that fall baking season is on.

This past weekend was one of the busiest baking weekends yet, and I loved seeing it all — pumpkin cakes, warm cookies, apple French toast — everything looked so cozy and delicious!

It’s always so fun to see the recipes you all love making at home. I thought today would be the perfect time, just ahead of the weekend, to round up some of our top baking recipes. There’s so much goodness below — pumpkin sweets, apple-filled desserts, plenty of pecans, cozy drinks, and so much cinnamon spice (and everything nice!).

Over the last 13+ years, I’ve shared so many fall baking recipes that I’ve adored — these are some of the best. I truly thrive this time of year!

I’m so excited to bring these recipes back to life today. Please let me know a couple of things in the comments — first, which fall recipes you bake on repeat, and second, what new recipes you’d love to see me share over the next few weeks.

I can’t believe how close Halloween is — with Thanksgiving right behind! I’m already planning ahead for you guys, and we have so much in store this holiday season!
