The 10 Recipes You Loved Most in September

Get ready for all the fall cozies.

September has something for nearly everyone: the official arrival of fall. The unofficial secret continuation of summer. The cue to bring out transitional wardrobe items like jeans and long-sleeve shirts.

And oh, the food! Tomatoes and corn are still in season for many. Apples, plums, pears, and pawpaws are ripe and abundant. The culinary possibilities are many.

The recipes our readers clicked on most this month cued fall coziness. There' hearty soups, a cheesy casserole, tangy baked chicken that's slathered in a secret ingredient, and wholesome overnight oats that magically taste like dessert. I think you all chose some real winners. Dive into them below.
