Apple Recipes

From breakfast apple recipes to apple desserts to recipes for apple salad and everything in between, enjoy the flavors of fall with these amazing apple recipes!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year.

There’s something magical about any changing season, but fall is especially enchanting with its cool, crisp air, warm, spicy beverages, and the promise of many feasts and gatherings soon to come.

It’s the perfect combination of snuggling inside and exploring outside, and apple picking is a perfect reason to do both.

Whether you go to the local orchard to grab a big basket of apples as a family activity or just pick up an extra bag at the store, you’ll want to add these apple recipes to your fall meal plans!

WHY FIND APPLE RECIPES

Apples are easy to find at the store year-round. I also love apple recipes because they’re:

• Frugal. You can go apple picking for a larger number of apples in the fall at rock-bottom prices. But even outside of peak apple season, apples are still one of the more frugal produce options.
• Versatile. With all the apple variety, from sweet to tart to crisp or tender, there’s an apple flavor for everyone! Try Gala or Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, or Jonagold.
• Apples are a great source of fiber! They also help stabilize your blood sugar and keep you satisfied.
• Naturally sweet. Since apples are fairly sweet on their own, you don’t need to add as much (or any!) granulated sugar or sweetener when baking with apples.
• Comfort food favorites. There’s a reason apple pie is a classic – the flavors just feel cozy!

Far beyond just apple pie dessert recipes – apples can be included in all sorts of yummy dishes!
