We have a couple of SUPER sweet neighbors who gave us a full bushel(!) of apples from their orchard a couple of weeks ago. I know, how nice, right??

So after making some of my (ridiculously easy) homemade applesauce that is a fall food staple at our house, I had plenty left over for other goodies!

Because as much as I love a good pumpkin treat, no fall season is complete without the mouthwatering taste and smell of baking apples. Mmmm…

20 Apple Recipes Perfect for Fall

Before we dive into the list, I need to quickly mention that if you’re going to be making apple treats over the next few weeks, you’re going to want an apple peeler/corer/slicer. Not only will it save you tons of time, it’ll save your hands, too! It’s well-worth the (small) investment!

Now that I’ve given my PSA, let’s get on with the recipes!

1. Apple Pie — This is a nice, easy “no fail” recipe for this classic treat!
2. Apple crisp — My husband LOVES a good pie, but I’m more of a crisp girl, myself. (Though, don’t get me wrong, he certainly doesn’t turn down tasty crisp, either.)
3. Apple pie bars — These AMAZING bars are like a cross between a pie and a crisp, and they’re so easy to make for a crowd! (Or… you know… just you and your family. *wink*)
4. Apple turnovers — While I haven’t actually made these turnovers myself, they promise to be easy, and the reviews are fantastic! 
5. Waffles — When these are made with homemade applesauce… ohmygoodnesssss
6. Applesauce — Speaking of which, this is hands-down the easiest way to make homemade applesauce. And it keeps it au natural with NO added sugar!
7. Apple donuts — I don’t usually care for donuts (weird, I know), but I could eat gobs of these!
8. Apple muffins — When I make muffins, it’s usually for breakfasts, lunches, or snacks, so I like them to be healthy. And Cookie + Kate is one of my favorite go-to sources for real food recipes!
9. Fritters — I’ll be honest, fritters are another one I haven’t tried making myself. But this recipe looked so good, I just might have to fix that soon!
10. Apple butter — I LOVE apple butter, and if you ask me, making it in the slow cooker is the way to do it! It’s easy, it’s hands-off, and it makes the whole house smell delectably like fall.
11. Baked apples — If you’re looking for something that doesn’t require peeling, try these baked apples!
12. Apple cake — You can’t go wrong with a Betty Crocker classic!
13. Apple cider — Just thinking about hot cider makes me feel all warm and cozy and ready for fall!
14. Caramel apples — Here’s a recipe from Food Network if you want to do the “real” thing, but if you don’t have a candy thermometer (or you don’t want to risk messing it up), here’s an easy “cheater” recipe!
15. Caramel apple scones — Oh my goodness, how amazing do these look??
16. Rustic apple tart — We love anything “rustic” around here!
17. Dehydrated apple chips — These are a GREAT healthy snack! Here’s how to make them in the oven OR in a dehydrator.  
18. Hand pies — These are so stinkin’ cute, they’re great for easy portions, and they take less time to bake!
19. Apple salad — I can’t forget about the deliciousness of raw apples! This is a SUPER easy salad you can throw together in minutes. BONUS: I like to toss apple chunks into my chicken salad when I have them, too!
20. Roasted Cinnamon-Spiced Butternut Squash with Sweet Potatoes & Apples – After a list FULL of sweet recipes, we need something savory, right? And this dish from my friend Kishona is just the thing!
