When the last peaches and first pears come into season (along with peaches, grapes, raspberries, and figs), grab an extra bunch or three! Fresh fruit pies, cakes and dumplings take late summer and early fall fruits to new, plump peaks.
Fresh Italian Purple Grape Cake
Nora Lee
This unique cake is made with olive oil and butter, flavored with fresh lemon and orange peel. “This is truly an amazing, amazing cake. It’s great to watch our friends try it! They look at it and… [had] Doubt because of the grapes..[after] They tasted it and they loved it.” – Alice

“Make sure to use black plums because they will turn pink when baked and will look pretty,” says BLONDINI2. “Prunes and raspberries can be substituted for peaches. You can also leave out the blueberries to make a delicious plum cake!” Peaches or nectarines work well in place of plums, too.

“Bosc Pears makes its own light syrup right on the stovetop,” says Steve. “Add a touch of vanilla and orange liqueur, and you’ve got a fall dessert that won’t weigh you down.”
Concord grape pie
Kim Erskine Johnson
This dessert captures the incomparable flavors of the Accord grape. Don’t be drawn to seedless varieties like Thomcord, they’re worth the extra step. The grapes are removed from their skins and the filling is passed through a food mill or sieve to remove the seeds. The peels are then stirred again into the filling to obtain its beautiful color. “Amazing Concord Pie recipe! I followed it exactly and it came out exactly the same way my mom and grandma used to make it! I will definitely be using this recipe again!” – Kim Erskine Johnson
Easy Pear Clafouti
Journal of all recipes
“I didn’t have custard cups, so I made it in a 12-inch round glass pan. The taste was amazing. I think good quality vanilla really makes a difference in a dish like this. And because there’s 1/3 of the pear in each serving, we can tell “For ourselves it’s healthier than a lot of other options, and it’s a great basic recipe that will work well with a lot of fresh fruits.” -Maureen Sullivan
Plum cake
Honey stool
“It’s a great cake for those who find regular cakes too filling,” says Carol. “If this cake is making for more than 24 hours, it must be kept refrigerated.”
Peach and Blackberry Cobbler
“We used Palisade peaches from Colorado that we can only get once a year. We’ll make them every August when we have peaches from now on.” – Malaysian Ringgit 2016
Almond and pear cake
Buckwheat Queen
“This moist cake is the perfect winter dessert when pears are in season,” says Eatcookdream. “Change it up for other seasons by using berries, peaches, or apples instead of pears. Optional garnish: Sift confectioners’ sugar over the top and/or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.”
Zwetschgendatschi (German plum cake)
Marianne
“Zwetschgendatschi is a classic German plum sheet cake from Bavaria—short-crust pastry topped with Italian peaches,” says Barbara. “It is traditionally served with whipped cream sweetened with vanilla sugar.”

“Our neighbor brought us fresh figs from their tree and this was a delicious way to use them up! I was just 1/2 cup shy of the 3 cups total, so I used 1/2 cup chopped fresh peaches in the compote,” says Chef Linda Sue. “It was a huge hit!”
Plum pies

Fruit tarts are a classic dessert in parts of Central Europe. “Traditional Macedonian recipe from my grandmother,” says EMSEV333. “The Italian plums needed to make this are only available in late August.”
Huckleberry Peach Cobbler

ljd99138 says: “Excellent recipe! I used a mix of ripe peaches from 3 different varieties, half raspberries, and half blueberries, and it was delicious. I also add lemon juice to the fruit mixture and zest to the filling and crumbs.”
Plum buckle
Cynthia Cervantes
“I give this a solid five stars. I made it exactly as written. The cake portion of the recipe has a wonderful texture… not really cake, not quite pudding cake. I’m not one to bake a lot and mostly buy desserts but I’m going to make an exception for this recipe because I didn’t I find something like it anywhere else.” -Harbert
