Dat Candy: Apple-Thon is here.

Apple-Thon is here.

Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we're unwinding and what we have planned for the week ahead. This time, our editor, Julia, is dreaming of cooler weather.

This weekend, I'm thinking about two things: the bliss of a three-day break, and the bittersweet fact that summer's days are numbered.

Labor Day always feels like a turning point—yes, there are still a few more beach days left, but cooler evenings are creeping in. I'm thinking of toasting goodbye to August with this Italian Sparkler cocktail.

In the Test Kitchen, we're also leaning into fall flavors and kicking off Apple-Thon—a month-long celebration of one of our favorite fruits. To start, we're spotlighting four recipes that are both sweet and savory:

Brown Butter Apple Pie Cookies

Apple, Bacon & Caramelized Red Onion Sandwiches

Sheet-Pan Apple Crisp

Broccoli Salad With Pesto, Apples & Walnuts

I'm still holding onto my iced coffee, but if you're ready to go all in on early fall flavors, we rounded up some of the best pumpkin-spiced drinks and snacks on shelves. Get the list here.
