    Apple Recipes for Fall

    collage for the best fall apple recipes

    Apples are the royalty of all the best autumn recipes. Pumpkin may be the cool kid on the block, but no one has the lasting power of the apple. Over the years we've made a lot of amazing fall apple recipes that honestly, are amazing all year round, too. Since it's so amazing, I've compiled a whole list of all the apple recipes for fall I've made over the years.

    Apple Basics

    These are base recipes using apples. They're simple, easy, and have many applications! This section will grow a ton over time as we explore more of the different uses for apples. 

    Homemade Applesauce

    Homemade applesauce is a classic apple recipe for fall. There is nothing better than whipping up a large or small batch to eat as a snack, as a part of your breakfast, or in another recipe. 

    Apple Breakfast

    Starting your day with apples is one of the best things you can do for your tastebuds. It's pretty hard to feel bad about your day when you have apples to start things off. Plus, it's great for sneaking in something a little better for your kids in the mornings! 

    Apple Pie Pancakes

    Fluffy apples infused with apples throughout. Top with cinnamon-infused maple syrup for the best start to your morning! 

    Apple Bread Waffles

    These aren't like your typical waffles. This is more of a "waffled apple bread" That is... this is actually apple bread we make in the waffle iron. It's a lot more dense than waffles, but are so delicious and fun to make. 

    Apple Cinnamon Rolls

    These are the fluffiest apple cinnamon rolls you will ever taste. They are stuffed with caramel apple pie filling and the best fall recipe ever #fall #fallbaking

    These apple cinnamon rolls are seriously one of the best things I've ever made in my life. So fluffy with ton of apple goodness. There is no way you can have just one of these! 

    Apple Dessert

    This is where apples really shine, in my opinion! Apples bring so much depth to a dessert with their combination of tart and sweet and a texture that bakes up so well. There is a reason desserts like apple pie are one of the most popular desserts around. 

     Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake

    This is my favorite caramel apple upside down cake. I love to make this cake everytime we go apple picking. Guaranteed to become your favorite simple cake!

    Caramel and apple is the best combination known to man. I will stick by that statement forever. When paired with a delicious cake, something truly magical happens. 

    Irish Apple Cake

    A deliciously moist Irish apple cake with irish whiskey creme anglaise. I don't think cake can get any better

    This cake is so easy to make, and not too sweet, which is perfect for anyone who doesn't like to go hard when they have their after-dinner treats. 

    Apple Cider Doughnuts

    Apple cider doughnuts coated in cinnamon sugar - there is really nothing better. 

     

    Apple Cider Doughnut Cake

    A warm honey apple cider cake - perfect to relax with a mug of tea or coffee. I can't wait to make this on Sunday!

    This is basically your apple cider doughnut in cake form, which means you get to have more without any judgement. Not that we'd be judging cause we will be having a second slice right along with you! 

    Apple Spice Cake

    Skillet Apple Pie

    A caramel skillet apple pie that will become your new go-to pie each and every year!

    Pie made in the skillet is just so much fun. Pro tip: Make sure your crust is fully cooked to prevent sticking. 

    Apple Pie Pavlova

    Chai-Spice Apple Cake

    Chai and apples together make for one of the best crumb cakes I've had in a very long time. This is a recipe I go to on the regular.

    There is nothing better than hanging out and sipping on a fall beverage while enjoying the leaves in all their vibrant glory - it's undoubtedly the best of the fall apple recipes. Apple definitely reigns supreme for cozy fall beverages. 

    Homemade Apple Cider

    Apple Cider Hot Toddy

    Mulled Apple Cider

    This recipe is so much fun and cozy It's one I like to make when my kid says she loves the smell of the mulled wine and wants to try some. This way she gets that mulled flavor in a kid-friendly way. 

    Apple Pie Smoothie

    There is nothing like an apple pie smoothie to make your day better. Tastes just like a pie minus the guilt

    I already said breakfast and apples are the best. This tastes just like pie, only better for you and actually keeps you satiated all morning long. 

    Apple Cider Mimosa

    Brunch gets a tasty fall makeover with these apple cider mimosas!

    This recipe actually comes from an old cookbook with a lot of old recipes from America and beyond. It's so good and I think I might make an all apple version of it soon.
