The lazy days of summer are coming to an end as the air starts to become crisp and the leaves begin to change colors. Soon, autumn will be here and as much as I love summer there is nothing quite like the comfort of fall with its pumpkin spice everything and warm apple desserts.
Not to mention all the fun fall activities that we look forward to all year with apple picking being at the very top of the list. Luckily, we have an apple orchard nearby where we can pick apples, and enjoy warm apple cider donuts. And, of course, the minute we get home with our peck of apples, I start to plan all the wonderful and cozy apple desserts I want to bake.
And, this year as I started to think about all these delicious autumn treats, I decided I would share some of the best classic and unique apple recipes that are perfect for celebrating the season with you. You can enjoy these cozy, and comforting desserts full of apples and warm spices with a cup of hot apple cider on a crisp fall day, or share them at parties as they would be the highlight of any fall get-together.
