There’s something magical about this time of year in West Virginia. The hills are turning into a patchwork quilt of gold, crimson, and burnt orange, and those first foggy mornings roll in like a scene straight out of a spooky movie. You can almost hear the crunch of leaves under your boots before you even step outside.
Fall has always been one of our favorite baking seasons here at Misfit. It’s the kind of season that begs for the oven to stay on a little longer, just so the house stays warm and smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. There’s nothing quite like pulling a fresh loaf of pumpkin bread from the oven while the fog curls outside your window.
And let’s be honest — the flavors of fall are truly unmatched:
Crisp apples that turn into gooey pies and cider donuts
Pumpkins that go from patch to spice-filled everything
Chai lattes and hot cocoa, perfect for wrapping your hands around on a chilly evening
Pecans, maple, and caramel sneaking their way into cookies and bars
Of course, fall isn’t just about flavors — it’s a whole mood. The foggy mornings that give way to bright afternoons, the smell of bonfires, the first chilly evening that makes you reach for your coziest sweater — it’s all part of the season’s charm. Add in the pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and yes, even a haunted hayride or two, and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for both spooky fun and kitchen adventures.
This fall at Misfit, we’re embracing every bit of it. You’ll see plenty of autumn-inspired bakes rolling out of our ovens — spiced, frosted, caramel-drizzled, and everything in between. We want to capture the coziness of the season with every bite, whether it’s a loaf to share at the table or a cookie that tastes like pure nostalgia.
So as the fog settles over the hills and the air gets cooler, we invite you to join us in celebrating everything that makes this season so special. Bake something new, light that cinnamon candle, and maybe sneak an extra cookie for yourself while you’re at it.
