Puff Pastry Apple Pie

Puff Pastry Apple Pie
Go to Recipe

Cathal Armstrong tells of how a family friend came over for lunch one day and marveled at the apple pie his mother, Angela, had made. When her husband, Gerry, asserted that it must have been the apples he grew that made the pie taste so good, the friend said, "Angela, you tell him pastry like that doesn't grow on trees." Since puff pastry can be tricky to prepare, this version of Angela's pie uses a high-quality, store-bought puff pastry.

"To step into Los Angeles's Big Sugar Bakeshop is to enter a confectionery alt-universe," F&W proclaimed about Mary Odson and Lisa Ritter's innovative bakery in 2008. Cathy Odson, Mary's sister, reinvents apple pie as a bar with a nutty, streusel-like topping and a crisp, buttery shortbread crust. It's America's iconic dessert, transformed into an even more indulgent snack.

Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole
Go to Recipe

Sweet potatoes grow in abundance in Alabama, where sculptor Sandi Stevens' family eats them year-round. This casserole is a Stevens favorite: silky pureed sweet potatoes topped with a sweet and crunchy pecan-cornflake topping. If you don't have pecans or cornflakes on hand, Stevens says the topping can be made with whatever nut or cereal is in the cupboard.

Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash

Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash
Go to Recipe

Chicken quarters roasted with golden squash and sage are nice for a chilly autumn evening. To help the squash to brown evenly, be sure to spoon off the fat from the roasting pan after removing the breasts. This is a case where less is more: A thin layer of fat will brown the vegetable better than a quarter-inch of it.
