Shorter evenings make it easier to stay in and let something sweet bake while the kitchen warms up. These 17 fall desserts bring apples, pumpkin, maple, pecans, sweet potato, butternut squash, chocolate, and plenty of warm spice into cakes, cookies, bars, cupcakes, and pastries. Some are quick enough for an ordinary weeknight, while others are better when there is time to chill, rise, or cool before serving. It is a mix built for the stretch of fall when dessert starts sounding especially good after dinner.
