What to bake in the last week of autumn
Squash, walnuts, the last good apples. A short list for the turn of the season.
The last week of autumn is the best week in the bakery. The squash is sweet, the walnuts are new, the apples are on their way out and taste like they know it. Everything wants to be baked at once.
Bake the walnut loaf. Bake the apple thing you never write down. Bake more than you can eat, and give the rest away — that is what the season is for.
