Apples always remind me of autumn – especially the desserts you can make! Here are 50 delicious apple recipes for fall you’ll enjoy.

I didn’t have an appreciation for fruit-based desserts until I got older. When I was younger I always felt that they were a little bit too “healthy” – I always wanted chocolate, and anything sweet with apple didn’t make sense to me.
I just wasn’t a fruit dessert person. For me, fruit was for snacks. I know . . . crazy, right?
I’m older now, and my tastes have changed, and I have a complete appreciation for apple in my desserts. With fall on the way, I’m ready to try some apple recipes. So I’m here to share a collection with you of favorites.
If you’re wondering what types of apples to use in your recipes, might I recommend the following three selections for a sweet flavor:
- Golden Delicious
- Granny Smiths (most commonly used)
- Honeycrisp
As a second tier if the above are unavailable, I’d go with Fuji or Gala. But you can experiment. And for any leftover apples that don’t go into your dish, might I suggest homemade applesauce. It’s so easy to make, you’ve got to try it.
And now I’m getting hungry. If you are too, scroll down. Here are the top 50+ recipes I can’t wait to try!
