Baked desserts are the Stuff of childhood dreams.... Reminiscences of chilly afternoon and the hot rush of spicy-sweet air when the oven door is opened.
The majority of the recipes in this chapter are real old-fashioned favorites-crumbles and cobblers, betties and puddings.
Comfort food to warm and nurture; often an irresistible combination of autumn fruits and buttery dough But that's not to say this is strictly a cold-weather chapter...the truly dedicated can enjoy their baked desserts all year round.
