19 Dessert Recipes for Fall you Won’t Want to Miss!
Summertime may be the ideal season for cherry pie, but when the temperatures start to drop, that means its pumpkin season! There’s something about the harvest season that makes pumpkin just-about-everything incredibly satisfying. Pumpkin goes with all kinds of fall desserts, from pies to cakes to brownies, cookies, bread and ice cream. It’s one of the reasons pumpkin is so well-loved this time of year.
Pumpkin isn’t the only flavor we love this time of year. Fall makes us think of those beautiful maple leaves, and maple syrup is a favorite fall flavor. Maple is one of those flavors that goes well with everything, and for some reason it even tastes like fall. Desserts for Fall like maple cookies, maple candy and maple bars are a seasonal tradition for many. Of course, it also makes a delicious glaze for ham, so maple syrup is always a good thing to have on hand.
Pecan pie is another flavor of fall that is perennially popular, whether in the form of pies, sandies or tarts. Other nuts are popular as complimentary ingredients, such as walnuts, almonds and macadamias. And of course, peanuts are an old favorite. Of course, if we’re talking about must-have fall flavors, then cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves definitely make the list. Those three spices – among others – are an essential ingredient in many desserts.
In keeping with the harvest season, apples are another popular ingredient this time of year. Everyone looks forward to buying candied apples in the store (myself included), but apples are one of the most commonly used ingredients in fall desserts – and for good reason! Apples are delicious, they are versatile, and unlike many fruits hold together well when cooking. They also pair extremely well with caramel. All of these factors combine to make apples one of the most ideal baking fruits around. It’s time to collect ideas, check out the 19 best fall dessert ideas!
