Double Chocolate Fudgey Brownies with Walnuts recipe

This is my go-to recipe for making pie or tart crust. It's simply the best recipe out of there. I have made both sweet and savory pies and tarts, and it turned out perfectly every time.

One-bowl fudgy cocoa brownies with brown sugar and chopped walnuts. Melted butter and cocoa replace bar chocolate for a deeply chocolatey brownie that's ready in 35 minutes.

Dark chocolate, corn syrup, and crunchy walnuts bake into fudgy brownies with crackly tops that taste like Mom's kitchen in every bite.

Ultra-fudgy brownies made with real melted chocolate and butter, packed with chopped nuts and just enough flour to hold their dense, truffle-like texture.

Unsweetened chocolate melts into butter for simple brownies with walnuts that bake low and slow into fudgy squares.

Instead of the raisins, this Apple Strudel uses dried cranberries instead. It's also lighter, crispier and easier to make by using phyllo pastry instead of typical thick pastry.

Fluffy pumpkin pie with whipped egg whites folded into a rum-spiked custard, baked in a three-temperature method for a tall, mousse-light filling. Two pies for the holiday table.

German rye beer bread made in a bread machine with rye flour, caraway seeds, and a full bottle of beer. A dense, malty loaf with old-world flavor and almost no effort.

A soft yeast dough stuffed with a quick filling of ground beef, cabbage and cheese is reasonably simply and surprisingly addictive. This mid-western Germany classic is perfect for Oktoberfest or any time of year.

Brooklyn bagels: chewy, shiny New York-style bagels made the real way, with a stiff high-gluten dough boiled in barley-malt water before baking. Hand-shaped, egg-washed, and seriously chewy.

Mini nut tarts with a flaky cream cheese crust and a brown sugar pecan or walnut filling. Bite-sized pecan-tassie style cookies that bake in mini muffin tins for holiday cookie trays.

White chocolate cheesecake with an almond-oatmeal-graham crust, folded with whipped egg whites for an airy, mousse-like texture. Slow-cooled in the oven for a crack-free finish.

Classic peanut butter blossom cookies with a chocolate kiss pressed into the center of each warm cookie. The holiday cookie tray essential.

Pumpkin pie squares with a crumbly oat-and-brown-sugar shortbread crust and a fully spiced pumpkin custard. Bakes in one pan, cuts into 16 squares, and travels better than a round pie.
