Cakes, cookies, bars, fudge and pies for every kind of sweet craving, from a 10-minute dip to a slow-baked cheesecake. Pumpkin and apple turn up often in fall bakes such as pumpkin cake bars, pumpkin cream cheese poke cake and glazed apple cookies, while chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry banana pudding and homemade peach cobbler lean on fresh fruit. For cookies, compare chewy options like molasses, snickerdoodle and salted caramel.

If you are short on time, look at the easy fudge made with condensed milk or the quick dipping sauces. Bigger projects include New York style cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake and caramel cake with caramel icing. Cupcakes and cake bars suit parties and game days, and zucchini or banana loaves keep well for the next day. Check the total time on each recipe before you start.
