Here are 10 cozy apple recipes to kick off our fall baking season.
Joy the Baker referred to fall as “cinnamon season” and I am here for it. I, personally, always view September as apple season and October as pumpkin season but really they all are cinnamon season.
I know that, for some of us, we are still sweating while we walk to get the mail but there’s something about how the days are getting shorter and the kids are back to school that makes me want to bake.
Starting off simple with my easy apple tart. It’s the perfect weeknight pie-the hardest part is peeling the apples.
Next is homemade applesauce in the slow cooker. I love to make this for my kids-it takes almost no effort, makes the house smell delicious and is super customizable (pear applesauce, strawberry applesauce, carrot applesauce, etc.).
These apple crumble top muffins are the perfect thing to use up those last couple apples languishing on your counter and make a delicious hardy breakfast.
These soft apple butterscotch cookies a soft oatmeal cookie studded with chunks of tart apple and sweet butterscotch chips and make the best companion to an afternoon cup of coffee.
Hand pies are the cupcake of the pie world. Easy, portable apple hand pies made with store bought crust (to make it easy) and sweet homemade apple filling!
Apple cider gummy candy is an easy to make soft and chewy candy. Give it some pucker by rolling the candies in citric acid mixed with sugar!
Apple cider doughnuts in the air fryer! All the deliciousness of apple cider doughnuts-none of the hot oil! (Although, I hear apple cider doughnuts are just a midwestern thing-is this true)?
Applesauce cupcakes are tender spiced cupcakes under a blanket of tangy cream cheese buttercream. Chalk full of aromatic spices, your kitchen will smell like a cup of hot apple cider while these applesauce cupcakes are baking.
This easy cranberry apple crumble takes the work out of pie by removing the crust but none of the flavor. 10/10 recommend eating with a scoop of ice cream or large dollop of Cool Whip (or whipped cream, if you’re fancy).
And last but not least, whole wheat oatmeal cookies studded with pieces of gooey caramel and chunks of whole apple. All the best flavors of a caramel apple, none of the mess!
