  Apple Pie Calzone

  Summer is all about wrapping the season's best fruit in a flaky buttery crust to be crowned with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, right? I've been very much in my galette era for the past few years, providing the most surface area for a crispy, golden crust, while also being a bit less fussy to throw together compared to a standard pic. The one thing I was missing was the joy of a precooked fruit filling, pulling out all those juices and thickening them with cornstarch into a jammy, sweet gel suspending chunks of tender fruit. I'm a big believer that we can and should have it all, so this recipe was born. We're rolling out our pie dough as if were making a galette, but then adding a precooked apple filling (though peaches or cherries would be stunning here, too) on half of the dough so we can fold over the other half to seal it into our pie calzone. Is it an actual calzone? No! But you immediately get the concept, and "jumbo hand-pie" doesn't have the same ring to it, you know? Maybe just call it the best dessert you'll bake all summer.

  Apple and Pear Puff Pastry Mummies

  I love Halloween and it's a great time for me to show off my hosting skills. With Halloween comes the ability to create a lot of great desserts that fit the theme. If you're in the midst of planning a party, cleaning your house, and making food, though, you might not have a lot of time to focus on what you're going to make. With these puff pastry mummies, you can cut down on a lot of time using store bought puff pastry sheets.

  If you don't want to make the filling, you can easily do homemade instead! I wanted to give these a true autumnal feel so I also added in some masala chai spice, which you can opt in for or do cinnamon and nutmeg.

  Pears and apples are in season for the fall, but if you have a favorite fruit, you can easily swap them in!
