Fall weather is feeling quite nice - it isn't cold by any means (thank goodness!), it is perfect for sweater weather and if we are being honest, the subway temperature is now tolerable. I haven't started any fall baking just yet, but I plan on starting with pears then moving onto grapes and apples.  To kick things off, pears are the step-sister to apples this time of year, but they should not be.  They are sweet, cook down easily and are delicious when paired with cinnamon.  Here are five recipes to get the ball rolling!
