Can you believe this is our first baking newsletter? It’s about time. In fact, it’s Bake Time.
I’m Vaughn. Some of you may know me as the Cookie Week guy, gracing your inboxes the first week of December every year with holiday treats, Mariah Carey references and the occasional bad pun. Others may know me for my YouTube cooking videos, which feature Celine Dion references and even worse puns.
Now I’m Vaughn, the host of our newest newsletter and video series, Bake Time.
Bake Time is not just for the folks who live for “the Bake” but also for the baking curious, even those among us who keep sweaters in the oven (R.I.P. Carrie Bradshaw) but who lied on their Hinge profiles saying they make a mean key lime pie.
Each week, I’ll send you baking inspiration, sharing new and old favorites from the New York Times Cooking archive. And once a month, I’ll send out the Monthly Bake, a recipe printed in full in this very newsletter! That way, you can send it to all your baking buddies and we can all bake together.
For my first big assignment in this new role, I assembled my ultimate list of 24 fall baking recipes that are perfect for cozy season, such as chewy Earl Grey sugar cookies, cranberry lemon bars and miso-pecan banana bread. There’s a few new ones from me in there, too (hello, sweet potato and brown butter snacking cake and peanut butter and jelly pound cake).
In assembling this list, I realized I wanted to create a showstopper. Something splashy and special, extremely autumnal. My mind immediately went to apples. I like apple pie, but to me it’s like “Shout” at a wedding: I won’t request the song, but I’ll dance to it; I appreciate all it does to enhance the vibe.
