Fruit Tart

Don’t know what to make with your late-summer farmers market fruit haul? Try this simple custard tart — a crisp but tender base filled with a rich vanilla pastry cream — and top with any fruit you like. This is one of those desserts that might call to you from the pastry case in the bakery with its gleaming and perfectly arranged fruit, but homemade is almost always better. Claire walks you through all the steps.

Old Fashioned Donuts

If you're in a hurry and looking for a quick and easy homemade doughnut that isn't too greasy or heavy then this recipe is for you! On this next installment of “Dessert People,” Friend and Author of "Life is What You Bake It" Vallery Lomas shows Claire how to make easy Old-Fashioned Doughnuts. These cake doughnuts come together quick as they are not yeast-raised and the added sour cream provides for a fantastic taste and texture.

Season 5Episode 3

Cherry Pie

Sour Cherry Pie occupies a perch on the dessert hierarchy above all others, sitting high and mighty. That’s because sour cherry pie, when executed well, has juicy but set filling, a balanced sweet-tart flavor, and golden flaky pastry. It’s everything a dessert should be and more. Here is Claire’s, inspired by the pies her mom used to make when she was a kid and informed by all the pie-making wisdom she’s gathered in her baking lifetime. Sour cherry season is fleeting, but seek out frozen ones and make this pie all year long.

Cast Iron Pizza

Cast Iron Pizza

In case anyone needs reminding, baking is more than just sweets — it can be dinner!

Everyone deserves a little pan pizza in their life, and this one delivers and then some. .
