The 10 Most Popular Recipes in September
Sometimes we're creatures of habit who cook the same thing over and over again. But in September, none of our readers were in cooking ruts—our 10 most popular recipes were mostly all new twists on familiar dishes. Oh, you like peanut butter and jelly? How about Healthyish's pecan-miso butter and homemade jelly instead? Loaded baked potatoes are old news, because now you can have a loaded tot waffle. Check out those and eight more of your top picks from this month.

Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the dinner gods’ gift to home cooks everywhere. Each one is its own perfect portion of crispy skin and juicy meat that’s pretty impossible to overcook. Just make sure you cook them thoroughly on the skin side first to render out as much of the fat as possible and ensure maximum crispiness.

This easy, one-skillet apple dessert goes out to all the baking-phobes out there, because making something sweet shouldn't require all the bowls and measuring cups in your kitchen plus an advanced degree in chemistry. Pink Ladies and Granny Smiths are our go-to baking apples, but you can choose any kind you like as long as it has a firm texture and a good bit of acidity.

Our favorite and best method of making pasta—the same one the pros use in restaurants—is one in which the pasta finishes cooking in a glossy sauce made by emulsifying cheese into the pasta cooking liquid. It’s so easy and good it might change your life (or if not your entire life, then definitely your weeknight pasta game).
