Not all babka have to be swirled with chocolate or cinnamon—this version uses a sweet apple filling flavored with vanilla bean and lemon.

Hanukkah Treats

Jelly donuts aren’t the only Hanukkah dessert in town: These gelt-topped cookies are equally festive (and up the ante on a game of dreidel).

When you want a showstopper that’s easier to make than it looks, it’s hard to beat this especially impressive apricot tart.

This chocolate rugelach becomes all the more addictive thanks to a filling that’s elevated by a hint of cinnamon.

It may be the quintessential bread of Jewish holidays, but weaving together a loaf of challah is something worth doing anytime of year.
