Fresh peach slices topped with buttery cinnamon-sugar crumble, baked until golden brown. Classic summer dessert ready in an hour.

It was definitely my kind of dessert, it's sweet, but too sweet; vanilla sauce gave some richness, but wasn't overwhelming. The peach-maple filling was so delicious, packed with fresh peach flavor, of course :D and the juicy filling was just oozing out loudly.

Pecan tarts with caramel sauce: flaky homemade pastry shells filled with a brown-butter pecan filling, baked golden, then drizzled with silky amber caramel. Individual holiday tartlets worth the effort.

Pumpkin pie with a gingersnap crumb crust, dark rum, heavy cream, and freshly grated nutmeg. The double-boiler trick warms the filling before baking for a smoother, less weepy custard.

Vegan pineapple bundt cake made with silken tofu, applesauce, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, ground almonds, and crushed pineapple. Egg-free and dairy-free.

There are many renditions of pistachio cake, but I believe this one to be the original. Through the years, Mum would always ask what kind of cake I would want for my birthday. My answer would almost always be "pistachio cake." To this day, this is one of my all-time favorites.

Pleasure's Pumpkin Pie: a lighter Thanksgiving pie made with whipped egg whites and skim evaporated milk, packed with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice for classic fall warmth.

Famous peach pound cake folds fresh chopped peaches and sour cream into a buttery, vanilla-almond pound cake batter baked in a tube pan until golden and tender-crumbed.
