It’s one of my favorite seasons—time for Fall recipes with apples! My family loves having all the Fall apple favorites like apple pie and cakes, but I also serve up some less sweet, and even savory, recipes featuring this crispy fruit.
As the leaves start to turn and a crisp chill fills the air, it’s time to embrace the coziness of fall cooking, and this is one of my favorite Fall ingredients: I’m all about apples! Our family enjoys making cider from our own apples, not to mention pies, crisps, cakes, muffins…you get the idea.
So grab your apron, preheat that oven, and choose the first recipe from this list of Fall recipes with apples. Will you choose sweet or savory??? Whether you’re looking for after-school snacks, potluck crowd-pleasers, or festive holiday treats, you’ll find plenty of apple-inspired inspiration here.
Sweet apple recipes dominate the list of favorites for so many people, and my family is no exception! I hope you find a new family heirloom recipe from this list, and if nothing else, don’t skip making this apple pie!
