1Pumpkin Cake
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREWe are pro-cream cheese and pumpkin here at Delish. The two are as classic as peanut butter and jelly. If you prefer a more classic buttercream, use our favorite buttercream frosting. It will still be just as good; feel free to add some cinnamon or pumpkin spice to your frosting to jazz it up a little.

2Pumpkin Cookies
PHOTO: BRYAN GARDNER; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREThere are a plethora of pumpkin desserts to pick from, but we're here to say this is not only one of the easiest ones, but one of the best. These cookies are soft and chewy with just a subtle warm spice to them. They aren’t cake-y like a lot of pumpkin desserts tend to be thanks to a simple way of getting rid of the excess moisture from the pumpkin. Try them once, then come back to them all fall long.

3Pumpkin Cheesecake Lasagna
PHOTO: JOSEPH DE LEO; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GORESure, pumpkin pie is delicious, but when you have family over and mouthes to feed, spending hours making pie isn't exactly feasible. This over-the-top cheesecake lasagna, though? It takes 30 minutes to throw together, and once it's assembled, the refrigerator does the rest.

PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREIs it a sandwich cookie? Or a handheld little cake? To be honest, we're still unclear. What we do know is that this autumnal spin on the classic American whoopie pie gives us an unreasonable amount of joy once the weather starts to cool down. (Or as soon as September hits.)

9Pumpkin Muffins
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREPumpkin is our go-to fall ingredient for pies, cheesecakes, and cookies.

These fluffy and lightly sweet muffins are the best way to do breakfast.

15Pumpkin Cheesecake
PHOTO: LUCY SCHAEFFER; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREPumpkin cheesecake is the prima donna of all the holiday desserts: rich, decadent, and always a bit over the top, she stops the show wherever she goes. In that spirit, a lot of pumpkin cheesecake recipes pile on loads of flavored garnish and décor (caramel! nuts! crazy whipped cream piping!); but for this, our forever favorite version, we’ve stripped it right back and returned the focus to its true essence: a thick, crunchy crust, and a super-creamy, super-pumpkiny filling.

16Pumpkin S'mores Cookies
PHOTO: JULIA GARTLAND; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREWhy limit yourself to enjoying pumpkin sweets in the fall? The aromatics in pumpkin spice remind us of cinnamon graham crackers, and graham crackers make us think of s’mores. And OH MY GOURD: Could a s’more be pumpkin-spiced? If you combine a tender pumpkin cookie and all of the classic s’mores ingredients, the answer is definitely yes.

17Pumpkin Seed Toffee
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREToffee is really a beautiful blank canvas to add whatever you desire. With this recipe, we wanted to make it extra special during the fall leaves, brisk walks, and feeling cozy season (we love a good fall baking moment). This recipe is great because you can make it for a last-minute emergency, put it in cute little bags and gift it, or just make it and eat the whole thing yourself.

PHOTO: DOAA ELKADY; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREFor those that can't have gluten or think the pie crust is just a vessel to get the best part of the pie, this pumpkin pie is for you. Made without the crust, this pie takes less than half the time and WAY less effort. No making pie crusts, no chilling, and no blind baking. It's a Thanksgiving miracle.

20Mini Piecakens
PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREIf desserts were people, these mini piecakens would be the biggest divas you ever met. Inspired by pastry chef Zac Young’s viral three-layer piecaken, these fun-sized versions feature a tiny cranberry pie baked inside a spiced pumpkin cupcake, crowned with a generous dollop of whipped cream, more cranberry pie filling, and a tiny round of sugary pie crust.
