14 pie, cobbler and fruit bake recipes

28 min Apple Pie A full nine-inch pie or a hand-sized mini, both bake through in a basket. Cooking the filling first is what stops the hollow gap under the lid. 28 min · 6 slices

22 min Apple Crisp The filling bubbles alone under foil, then the oat topping goes on at halfway so it crisps instead of steaming into mush. 22 min · 6 servings

35 min Peach Cobbler Fresh, canned or frozen peaches bake until they bubble, then the biscuit rounds drop onto the hot filling and cook from below. 35 min · 6 servings

30 min Frozen Pie Straight from the freezer, no thawing. A thermometer through the vent slit is the only honest way to know the center is truly hot. 30 min · straight from frozen

40 min Pumpkin Pie A silky custard that sets without a crack, thanks to a low 300°F and a slow three-stage cooldown that does more than any ingredient. 40 min · 8 slices

45 min Pecan Pie The filling sets clean with no soggy crust when you pull it at 200°F. Low and slow is what keeps the sugar from weeping. 45 min · 8 slices

25 min Cherry Pie Fresh or canned filling under a real lattice. Weave it on parchment and freeze it stiff so the fan cannot lift it off mid-bake. 25 min · 8 slices

24 min Galette The free-form pie that never fails: no pan, no crimp, just pleated dough around fruit. The pleats double the pastry so it does not burn. 24 min · 6 slices

22 min Apple Crumble Faster than crisp and just as good. Squeeze the topping into marble-size clumps so the fan cannot scatter it across the basket. 22 min · 4 servings

24 min Berry Cobbler Any berry works from one sugar-and-cornstarch table. The fruit thickens as it bakes and the biscuit top stays fluffy on top. 24 min · 6 servings

23 min Bread Pudding Covered, then naked. The two-stage schedule gives a custardy center under a crisp buttery top, from stale bread you were about to toss. 23 min · 4 servings

14 min Baked Pears Rock-hard store pears turn tender and honeyed in about fifteen minutes. The lighter cousin of a baked apple, and ready tonight. 14 min · 6 halves

12 min Baked Peaches One peach makes two halves. They caramelize face down, then flip up to cradle brown sugar and butter. Summer's fastest dessert. 12 min · 8 halves

5 min S'mores Melty chocolate and toasted marshmallow with no campfire. Halve the marshmallow and press it cut-side down so the fan cannot fly it away. 5 min · 6 s'mores

Before you bake any of them

Every pie and fruit bake here leans on the same three habits: drop the temp about 25 degrees from the oven, shield with foil early, and pull by temperature not the clock. These tools do that math for you.
