Ready for a fresh fall dessert that’s rooted in tradition? Pick this recipe for a simple scratch cake that might remind you of something Grandma used to make. Similar to a pound cake but with fragrant, sweet cardamom cutting through its rich buttery crumb. Sliced apples strewn across the top melt into the cake just slightly during baking for a pretty look that only needs a dusting of powdered sugar to be complete. The end result is an apple dessert that’s not too sweet but incredibly flavorful. It’s as perfect with a steaming cup of coffee at breakfast time as it is mounded with whipped cream after dinner. And since it’s ready to serve in just over an hour, it’s totally weeknight friendly!

We love upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and upside-down cake is no exception. Brown sugar, melted butter and pecan halves are mixed together and spread in a cake pan, which then gets topped with a sweet Bisquick™ batter, baked, and drizzled with a powdered sugar-milk glaze. The end result is a gooey pecan pie layer that sits atop a fluffy—yet dense—cake, instead of a pie crust. This dessert is a wonderful treat for fall (or all year-round for pecan pie lovers!) and tastes especially delightful when served with a side of from-scratch sweetened whipped cream. We love this cake as a sweet addition to any meal—either a post-dinner treat or even as a star of your next brunch party!

Cinnamon, sugar and apples are about as autumnal as a dessert can get. So why not combine everyone’s favorite cinnamon-sugar cookie, snickerdoodles, with apple cobbler? That was the thought that inspired this easy, crowd-size dessert, and thanks to the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens, this mashup works like a charm. The cookie dough crust bakes up cobbler style with a slight chewy top, fluffy center and a perfectly caramely bottom where the spiced apple mixture melds with the crust. So, you end up with deluxe apple cobbler topped with a snickerdoodle cookie crust. The only thing this dessert for 12 really needs is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Serve this warm from the oven, so your ice cream gets a little bit melty, and don’t be surprised if someone tries to lick their plate clean.

Chocolate chip cookies are classic treats you reach for year-round—and these homemade chocolate chip cookies are our top-searched recipe! Made and enjoyed by thousands of people over the years.
This recipe was introduced on a 1939 Betty Crocker™ radio program. It later appeared in the first 1950 printing of the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook. Betty has fine-tuned this chocolate chip cookies recipe to perfection. Back in the ‘50s, the recipe called for shortening, as it was less expensive than butter and could be stored longer. The recipe was switched to margarine (when margarine was the most popular option). Since then, we’ve learned that there is no substitute for real butter for the best flavor—period.
These cookies have been optimized for over 75 years into the best cookies you can sink your teeth into, and we think you’ll agree.

A comfort food classic, we’ve been making our bread pudding recipe since 1950, when it first appeared in a Betty Crocker cookbook. Since then, it’s become a favorite with our fans! Over the decades, our recipe hasn’t changed much. In the beginning, we called for breadcrumbs, but changed it years ago to bread cubes, preferring the added texture the cubes provided. Other than that, our bread pudding has basically remained the same. Why mess with perfection?
A simple, cinnamon custard mixture is baked with bread cubes and raisins into a dessert casserole. The warm-from-the oven bread pudding is served in bowls with heavy whipping cream poured over the top. It’s a perfect dessert as a delicious compliment to any meal. No wonder it’s a beloved classic!

Easy elegance is what this dessert is all about. Dark, sweet cherries get baked under an almond-sugar cookie crust and served with a warm vanilla cream sauce for a cobbler that brings the best of summer to the table, any time of the year. That’s right, this recipe is made with frozen sweet cherries and utilizes a couple of other clever shortcuts—the “easy” part! There’s no pitting involved when you use frozen cherries and the sugar cookie crust starts with Betty’s quick mix. Folding cream cheese and chopped almonds into the sugar cookie dough makes them extra moist and flavorful, but the best part is that this crust doesn’t need to be rolled out. Just drop balls of cookie dough on top of the cherries, and you’ll be ready to bake. There’s always time for dessert with this recipe at the ready!
