Don’t know what to do with all those apples you brought home from the fall festival or farmer’s market? Here are 15 delicious apple dessert recipes for fall. Think outside the pie!
I am definitely a pumpkin spice lover, and I’m not ashamed of it. But sometimes I think the fall “market” has become so saturated with pumpkin spice products, people forget about the apple!
Apples are delicious year round, but there’s something about apple desserts in the fall that just feels right. This time of year, you can get a ton of apples very inexpensively at the grocery store…or better yet, find an orchard or farm with a fall festival and buy them straight from the source! We have a local fruit farm with really great fall festivals, but they have a store and cafe that’s open through the week as well, and they make the most incredible apple cider donuts…oh man, they are SO GOOD.
Apples lend themselves so well to desserts – and it’s not just apple pie or apple crisp, people! Muffins, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes…just add some apples and you’ve got an amazing fall dessert perfect for entertaining. (Or just hoarding and eating by yourself. No judgement here.) So I took it upon myself to browse through hundreds of mouth-watering apple recipes on Pinterest (it’s hard work, but someone has to do it) and pick out 15 delicious apple dessert recipes for fall. I seriously want to try every single recipe on this list!
