It’s officially apple season! Get your aprons on and your mixers out, because we’re about to bake until we drop. Fall baking has to be my favorite season to bake in. And that’s saying a lot because I bake…well a lot. Truly nothing compares to a perfectly spiced apple donut or a buttery, warm slice of apple pie. And the common theme here? APPLES. So if you’re on an apple kick like me, in hunt of all of the best apple recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth look no further!
We recommend using a mix of different apples for the most varied deep apple flavor. We like to use both tarter, cooking apples like granny smith and also sweeter apples to deepen the flavor. This will ensure that some of the apples remain tart and crisp while others will break down into a jammy, cinnamon-sugar dream. For the sweeter apples you can use whatever you have on hand: gala, honey crisp, pink lady, envy…any kind will do.
Is there anything more fall that a decadent caramel apple? No. There’s not. We channeled all the flavors of a juicy, buttery, sweet caramel apple into this fun fall layer cake. The cake is made with grated apples for the ultimate apple flavor.

So… this apple cinnamon bread is easily the best bread I’ve ever made. It tastes just like those cinnamon swirl breads my mom would get my sister and me from the store growing up. Only I’d say it actually tastes better!
One of my favorite things about quick breads is how versatile they are. Take this Sour Cream Apple Coffee Cake, for example. I’ve already eaten it for dessert, breakfast, and and an afternoon snack. I mean, can you blame me? The maple pecan streusel alone is enough to make me drool. And the fact that this bread is studded with apples means there’s practically a serving of fruit in each slice.…Right?
This baked cinnamon apple french toast makes me irrationally excited. I mean, have you ever seen a french toast so beautiful?! I think no. Plus this baby is super easy to make, loaded up with juicy apples and perfectly spiced. You will love it.
We hope you enjoy apple season it’s fullest and all the apple desserts that come with it. Happy baking!
