1. Dutch Apple Bread

Kicking things off is this moist and flavorful Dutch apple bread.

If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a quick bread loaded with apple chunks. Think pound cake, but with sweet apples in every bite.

Typically, Dutch apple bread is topped with a cinnamon streusel.

But get this: in this recipe, you’ll get both cinnamon streusel AND a vanilla glaze on top!

Because why settle for one topping when you can have two?

2. Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Start your day on a delicious but healthy note with these apple cinnamon muffins.

Muffins are usually loaded with berries. But in this recipe, you’ll give the classic muffins a fun fall twist with apples and cinnamon.

I don’t think there’s a flavor profile that better embodies the fall than apples and cinnamon. 

These muffins are insanely delicious. They’re super soft, fluffy, and moist, and the combination of apples and cinnamon is pure perfection.

The pancakes are soft, fluffy, and spiced with cinnamon. They’re awesome in and of themselves. 

But what makes them out-of-this-world delectable is the warm, ooey-gooey, topping made from diced apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Together, they are the epitome of fall flavors.

4. Apple Pie Muffins

They’re muffins, but they taste just like apple pie. It’s the perfect excuse for eating dessert for breakfast.

Because this recipe calls for canned apple pie filling, you can make it all year round. I love it!

I also appreciate that this recipe can be used for any type of pie filling.

So if you’re not in the mood for apples, you can always go for cherry or blueberry.

5. Sausage Apple Breakfast Casserole

Apple recipes are mostly sweet, but this breakfast casserole is a mix of sweet and savory. 

This casserole is a combination of cubed sourdough bread, sausage crumbles, cheese, and apples. 

They’re bound together by whipped eggs and half-and-half, creating a sweet, salty, savory, and creamy dish.

It’s every amazing flavor you can think of, combined into one.

6. Apple Smoothie

Smoothies are often made with berries, but not today. This apple smoothie is smooth, creamy, and bursting with fall flavors.

It’s sweetened with apples and bananas, made creamy by almond milk, peanut butter, and oatmeal, and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

The result is a light and refreshing smoothie that’s also healthy and satisfying. It’s great for breakfast, but also a perfect pre-workout meal.

Apple Crisp with Ice Cream

7. Apple Crisp

If you’re missing your grandma’s baking, this recipe is for you. This apple crisp is exactly the kind of home-cooking goodness your grandma makes! 

It delights your palate, warms your heart, and feeds your soul. It smells fantastic, to boot.

Seriously, with this apple crisp recipe, you can expect your house to smell heavenly all day long.

8. Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Stovetop Oatmeal

I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of plain oatmeal. I know it’s ultra-nutritious, but I can’t stand it on its own.

Thankfully, apples and cinnamon greatly enhance oatmeal’s boring flavor.

With this classic fall combination, you’ll transform basic oatmeal into a mouthwatering treat. 

Try it, and I guarantee it’ll be your newest favorite oatmeal flavor.

9. Overnight Cinnamon Apple Baked French Toast Casserole

I can never say no to French toast. I mean, who can, right? But what I don’t appreciate is the effort required to make it.

But with this recipe, making French toast is a breeze! There’s no need to wake up early in the morning because you can prepare the casserole in advance.

You won’t need to babysit the toast in front of the stove, either. Just pop the casserole in the oven and it takes care of the rest.

Homemade Apple Brown Betty

10. Apple Brown Betty

Say hello to Apple Brown Betty, the easy way to make apple pie. It’s a pie with an apple filling and a crumble on top. 

It may not have a crust underneath, but the topping definitely makes up for what’s lacking. 

Made from flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, it’s ridiculously buttery, crumbly, and sweet.

The spices give it a warming and comforting sensation as well.

11. Apple Crisp Coffee Cake

It’s the mash-up of apple crisp and coffee cake you never thought you needed!

This coffee cake is dense and moist like a pound cake, packed with apple chunks and pecans, and is topped with a crumble and brown sugar glaze.

To say that it’s epic is an understatement. Pair it with coffee for a delightful breakfast or afternoon snack.

12. Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

The sound of baked oatmeal isn’t really enticing, but wait until you hear what it actually is.

Loaded with apples, raisins, and a hint of cinnamon, this oatmeal is undeniably full of flavor.

The oatmeal serves as the thick and chewy vessel that binds the components together.

Slice it into squares and you’ll get hearty and delicious morning treats.

13. Apple Turnovers

These turnovers are outrageously addictive! The pastry crust is crunchy, flaky, and buttery. Inside is a warm filling made of apples flavored with cinnamon.

Whether served plain, drizzled with vanilla glaze, or dusted with powdered sugar, they’re impossible to resist.

Apple Cake with Raisins and Walnuts

14. Applesauce Cake

Applesauce cake is soft and fluffy. Besides the apple flavor, the applesauce also makes the cake incredibly moist.

The cake is also studded with walnuts and raisins so that you’ll get fluffy, chewy, and crunchy in every bite. 

Best of all, it all comes together in just one bowl. It’s so easy for such a delectable cake!

15. Apple Cinnamon French Toast

Apple French toasts are drizzled with cinnamon syrup. It’s fall decadence at its best.

The toasts are crisp on the outside, and tender and moist on the inside. The syrup is sweet, sticky, and wonderfully spiced.

It may be a breakfast dish, but I won’t mind eating this all day.

Apple Fritters

16. Apple Fritters

Just looking at these fritters is making my mouth water. You can already tell how indulgent they are.

The fritters are crunchy on the outside and tender inside. The apple chunks give the soft fritters flavor and a crispy contrast.

Toss the fritters with cinnamon sugar or drizzle them with vanilla glaze. Or, do both for an extra decadent treat.

18. Apple Crisp Yogurt Parfaits

This parfait has layers of Greek yogurt, toasted pecans, and cinnamon apples. It’s finished off with granola or cereal for added crunch.

It’s perfectly sweet and creamy, and the textures are fantastic. It’s a snap to prepare, too.

Just throw in all the ingredients in a glass, and there you have it.

What an ideal way to start the day!

19. Apple Dutch Baby

A Dutch baby pancake or a German pancake is a large popover. This recipe gives the classic a fall spin with apples and cinnamon.

It’s delicious, but also, look how pretty! Don’t worry, it doesn’t need baking expertise to create such a masterpiece.

In fact, this beauty is ready in just 40 minutes.

20. Apple Pie Overnight Oats

While I’m not an avid fan of regular oatmeal, I can’t say the same for overnight oats. Whoever came up with this idea is pure genius.

With overnight oats, there’s no need to turn on the stove. Just pour oats in a mason jar, along with yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup. 

Chill it in the fridge, and breakfast is ready the next morning. How awesome is that?

For this recipe, you’ll glam up the basic overnight oats with an apple pie filling, made from a combo of apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Yum.

Think granola bars, but better. These bars are gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free. More importantly, they’re insanely delicious.

They’re crunchy, chewy, and bursting with cozy fall flavors. They’re easy to eat and perfect on the go.

Bring this to your next yoga session for a hearty post-workout treat.

22. Apple Breakfast Bake

Is it a pie, a pudding, or an egg bake? Who cares? All that matters is that it’s delicious.

23. Apple Cinnamon Scones

These scones are crisp, crumbly, light, and airy with flaky centers. How amazing is that textural variety, am I right?

They’re also packed with autumn flavors. They’re buttermilk scones at the base, but the apple chunks and cinnamon make them all the more phenomenal.

While it sounds like a complicated recipe, don’t be intimidated. Muesli is actually quite easy to make. 

In fact, this recipe is so easy, it only takes 5 minutes to prepare.

Just combine all the ingredients – oats, chopped apples, walnuts, chocolate chips, almond milk, and cinnamon – in a jar, and wait overnight.

25. Apple Cheddar Bacon Bread Pudding

This pudding isn’t only sweet, but rich, creamy, savory, and salty as well. The complex flavor combination makes it outrageously delicious.
