The classic - apple pie.

Apple crisp, the way I learned it from one of my many college roommates. It's one of the only dishes that I still make from that era.

Pear crisp with crystallized ginger, served with homemade cinnamon ice milk.

Of course the strawberry frozen yogurt I made this weekend was pretty great as well!

Strawberry pie!!! ooohhhh yeah!!!!

Strawberry pie.

hands down - strawberry shortcake!

Blackberry cobbler

My mother-in-law made the best cherry pie. It was loaded with cinnamon, and it was the best part of my birthday.

Mine definitely has to be the stone fruit cobbler from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. We make it in the height of stone fruit season with peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots, apriums, apricots, etc. and the blend of different fruits is absolutely divine!! YUM. This book looks fantastic!

honey, bananas, coconut shavings :)

Berry crisp! I learned the difference between crisp and cobbler last year. This summer, I want to tackle crumbles, buckles, galletes, and pies!

There's a local orchard that makes "fruit of the forest" pies with all sorts of berry-goodness in the filling. It's almost more exciting than going apple picking!

Strawberry Rhubarb crisp with as little sugar as possible to make it edible.

Strawberry-rhubarb pie is also very much in my mind today, since I ate it for dessert last night!

a warm apple crisp. reminds me of my grandma. :)

Peach Cobbler warm from the oven... nothing beats it!

Classic strawbberry rhubarb cobbler is my absolute favorite.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.

Nothing is better than a fresh apricot pie.

I make a apple turnover with puff pastry and simmer the apples in brown sugar and butter with a bit of cinnamon. Put them in the puff pastry and close them. Pour the melted brown sugar mix on the top of the turnovers and put them in the oven. Good stuff!

I can't pick a favorite. I really can't. Strawberry shortcake and black and blue pie are up there, though.

strawberries and cream.

plum galette with rasberry jam as a glaze

My best friend makes these unbelievable individual apple dumplings...she pretty much cores and peels a whole apple, fills it with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, then wraps it in pie crust so it still holds it's shape. She sprinkles it with sugar and bakes until the crust is flaky and the apple is soft and baked...it's wonderful hot with a good scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

peach bread pudding

Vanilla ice cream with fresh pineapple chunks mixed in.

In the fall: apple crumble.
In the winter: sour cherry pie (with cherries canned over the summer).
In the spring: strawberry rhubarb pie.
In the summer: peach crisp.

strawberry shortcake

Apple cranberry pie. It's a beautiful pink hue and is a perfect blend of tart and sweet. The apples are half granny smith, half golden delish. It has a lattice crust with a sprinkle of granulated sugar on top for crunch. Serve it warm with some ice cream. Heaven.

mixed berry cobbler with a dollop of homemade lemon curd.....or a bowl of homemade lemon curd with a dollop of mixed berry cobbler.... either way is fine..... I'm not picky.

almond rhubarb crisp in the spring and peach pie in the summer

I'm alway satisfied with fresh berries with vanilla yogurt. Not too filling, just right in terms of sweetness. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries... I love 'em all.

I make a blueberry buckle coffee cake that I wait for every year when fresh blueberries become available and that time is near!

Warm blueberry cobbler, no ice cream

blueberry pie

peach cobbler

Anything with rhubarb in it. Doesn't matter what it is. As long is there is rhubarb and it is a desert, I'm going to love it.

huckleberry milkshake.

blackberry pie...... fresh picked berries of course

for a quick dessert in the fall, i'll throw together individual pear or apple crumbles - toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour; top with a mix of oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter; stick in the overn til golden on top. yum!

Raspberry-Rhubarb crisp or cobbler (can't choose one!) with vanilla ice cream!

Blueberry anything...crisp especially

Any kind of crisp...blueberry, blackberry, peach, nectarine...and don't forget the vanilla bean ice cream!

Good old cherry pie!

Cherry cobbler! I love how simple it is, and how it just oozes all over the place.

strawberry shortcake

Peach cobbler is at the top of my list!

I have recently learned to make galettes and think that they are wonderful. When you add a glaze onto the glistening fruit it makes a true masterpiece----and tastes as good as it looks. Can't wait to try out the fig and honey cream galette recipe above, though I might have to wait a while for some fresh figs. My favorite galette so far is an apple (chunks) and craisin fruit galette with an apricot/cognac glaze---heavenly.

Apple pie or strawberry rhubarb pie (depending on the season), both with streusel topping instead of top crust! Vanilla bean ice cream is absolutely necessary as well.

sour cherry pie - yum!

my white nectarine-raspberry pie!

apple crumble

Home made apple crisp.

i love cobblers, crisps, pies, etc...but don't often make them, primarily b/c of my hesitation w/ crusts. the few recipes i have saved to experiment with are of the "rustic" variety, since i suspect i'd have more success with a rustic, down-home preparation vs. a highly technical or elegant affair. all that explains why my current favorite fruit-based desserts are roasted/baked fruits (pineapple, pears, etc) with ice cream, yogurt, creme fraiche, etc. can't go wrong!

Individual white nectarine-blackberry galettes with ice cream and/or whipped cream.

My Grandmas Peach Pandowdy. I always thought she made up the name until I got older and learned differently. I loved her Peach Pandowdy and have missed it since she passed away. Never had any others but hers.

Rhubarb crisp or blueberry pie.

Any homemade icecream with fresh fruit!

love cobblers as well, though clafoutis are lovely too.

my father's once-a-year rhubarb crisp

we love berries with whipped cream

Mulberry Pie. When I was a little boy living in Detroit we had this HUGE Mulberry tree growing in our backyard. When my friends and I got hungry after a long day of playing we would always go to my backyard and climb the tree and eat the sweet berries usually leaving dark red stains all over our clothes (my mother was not very happy about this.) My mom would always make the most wonderful mulberry pie from the fruit though. I don't think we were ever without one during the summer time.

Rhubarb pie. No strawberries to sully their goodness. My extended relations must be of like mind. Family gatherings will find a cluster of people around a solitary rhubarb pie while other desserts go begging.

I can't lie, despite the abundance of people with the same answer. Warm apple pie with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Strawberry rhubarb crisp - so simple but so yummy!

My obsession at the moment is clafoutis, brimming with pears, strawberries, or figs. Mm!

Raspberry - rhubarb custard cake - I could eat it every day!

Blueberry pie

huckleberry buckle ....like the way it sounds...and LOVE the way it tastes!

I adore apple-ginger crisp in winter...and mango tapioca pudding in summer

Any fruit crisp will do, but one of my best endeavors was an Italian prune crisp.

The best dessert I ever had was at Cory Schreiber's Wildwood. A banana cream pie with carmelized bananas and a nutty crust. Second best was also at Wildwood - Hazelnut pie, made like Pecan pie, with chunks of dark chocolate, and tangerine sorbet on the side. I really want this book!

cherry pie or blackberry cobbler. LOVE them both.

My friend makes an out of this world cranberry apple pie. That's my pick.

I love strawberry rhubarb crisp!

rhubarb crisp. add some sweet sliced apples.

I am crazy about apple pie with a wedge of cheddar cheese on the side! I had never heard of the cheese part until one night many years ago when my father cut himself a slice of apple pie. I noticed that he added a large piece of Wisconsin cheddar, which he said is the only way to eat it (is it a midwestern custom?) I've only eaten it that way since - the best!

red gooseberry crisp!

Classic apple pie.

Strawberry rhubarb pie. You have to love the transformation - celery like raw rhubarb to delicious sweet tart goodness. Dang.

Apple pie filling (no crust please).

Rhubarb Meringue Pie

Nana's apple pie. Second to that, the cherry rhubarb pie from Verrill Farms. I make a pretty good apple-pear pie at home, but it's just not the same :-)

I have access to fresh peaches, pears, rhubarb and apples in season. I take whatever is ready and have a great "crisp". Also have a couple great cake recipes that I use. Pretty much if it's dessert, I'll love it!

cherry cobbler!! with vanilla ice cream...

A family tradition...Cranberry Crunch!

I only recently learned that it goes back more than 40 years; I thought we started making it during my youth. Seems that my great aunt/uncle's dog pulled a full tray of it off the counter the night before Thanksgiving, and that was years before I came along.

strawberries cut up and allowed to sit in sugar for about 20 minutes. Then, pour milk all over. Add zweibak. eat.

Warm peach or blueberry cobbler.....simple.....delicious!

Any kind of fruit cobbler. Well maybe not any kind. But most fruits that are able to be cobblered.

Apple pie all the way, from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. This is the recipe from which I learned to make apple pie, and my mom shared her amazing crust-making skills that she'd learned in 4H in the '60s.

I love double crust peach cobbler!!!

Strawberry Shortcake...most things involving strawberries and cream, really.

Almost anything with stewed/roasted/baked fruit (with or without a grain-based topping) and a vanilla-flavored dairy product on top.

It has to be my teen daughter's Blueberry Buckle. She took a cooking class at a local supermarket, and that was one of the recipes. It's amazing.

Any type of crisp...apple, cherry, strawberry-rhubarb, etc. I'll eat them all.

any fruit pie is my favorite, i am not picky! I especially like them with ice cream and like to try all combinations of pies and ice creams. At my house I'm known as the "experimenter" when it comes to food!! My 3
teenage boys don't mind as long as I'm cooking and they're not!!!

The NYTimes plum torte recipe will always own a little piece of my heart. Mmmm...plum torte.

Peach cobbler -- warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I know that technically rhubarb isn't a fruit (i.e. no seeds), but I love rhubarb custard crosshatch- sweet and sour yummyness. Rhubarb is so delicious, I eat those sour stalks fresh out of the garden.

Does lemon meringue pie count?
If not, boysenberry pie!!

hands down it would have to be fresh berries topped with ricotta cheese honey a touch of cinnamon and a handful of toasted slivered almonds and maybe a few crumbled vanilla snaps to top it all off. ahhh...

I just love a cobbler! It would be hard to pick a favorite, though it would probably be a struggle between Blackberry and Peach! i've never had it before, but Strawberry Cobbler would be to die for!

I had already commented and was reading some of the others when I remembered another favorite of mine. I don't know if any of you will have tried it, but I love "Wojapi". It's a traditional Sioux kind-of a fruit pudding. In the old days they used to use dried berries, especially chokecherries, but now we make it with fresh or frozen berries, any kind. I love to make it and everyone loves to eat it!
