My 1st choice would be apple crisp or an apple dumping.  2nd would be pumpkin custard, not pie, just custard in a ramikin.  

Years ago I had a recipe for an apple cake that was wonderful.  Loaded with apples and walnuts, very moist.  It weighed a ton, but it was so good.  I lost the recipe and haven't found one close to it.

What's your favorite?

Apple pie, and I make a good one if I do say so myself. 🍎🥧🍎

apple crisp!!

Indian Pudding.  It is like rice pudding only corn meal based.  It needs molasses, lots of milk and it bakes a long time.  I use the Fanny Farmer recipe from about 1974.  

We first had this in a fancy seafood restaurant in Boston many years ago.  I then saw Julia Child make it on TV (did I say this was long ago?)

This season is my downFALL!   I love apple everything, pear everything, cranberry everything, and virtually all pumpkin baked goods as long as people take it easy with the pumpkin spice insanity. And with the weather just right for baking (well, after the next week of 100-degree temps in my area), it always seems like a good idea to "whip something up" for family, friends, and/or co-workers so I can have a taste. As we near the end of the year, it seems like every dessert is chocolate, but I'm a fruit fan all the way. Can you tell I'm excited for autumn to get here?!

My very favorite is from one of our favorite, long time posters on the recipe forum, @BritBrit:

"So moist, and one thing use a whisk on the topping the whole time!! don't stop it will get like a light caramel color....well first its a white color then as you whisk it it darkens..WOW!!its so good..I might just double it the topping the next time.. also make sure you put the topping on it while its hot."

It's weird but apple pie would be my last choice.  Yeah, I know an apple dumpling is basically the same thing.  No explanation.  But the ratio of crust to apples in the dumpling has to be right.  Don't like thick crust.
