Double-Crust Apple Pie

A double crust seals in the apples' natural juices as the pie bakes for full-on apple flavor. Tossing the apples with apple juice keeps them from browning as you peel and slice them, and it adds a boost of apple flavor.
Slow-Cooker Carne Adovada

Rancho de Chimayó restaurant, in Chimayó, New Mexico, serves probably the most classic version of this New Mexico stew of pork braised in velvety red chile sauce. It's great when made ahead, and is ideal for a slow cooker.
Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

The pumpkin and spices really shines in these Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes, but feel free to use as much or little of the spice mix as you want. The almond butter gives these naturally sweet pancakes a nutty flavor and a punch of protein and healthy fats.
One-Pot Beef Stew

This dish gets zip from whole mustard and richness from red wine. And that leftover wine pairs beautifully with the stew.
Tres Leches Cake

This gorgeous, rich traditional Mexican cake is made with three types of milk (whole, sweetened condensed, and evaporated) and topped with loads of fresh, juicy berries. The syrup will penetrate the cake if given sufficient time, so be patient.
