Fall Dessert Recipes

Most people think of apple and pumpkin when they think of fall dessert ideas. Pumpkin spice anyone? However, fall recipes can feature so many other ingredients besides pumpkin!

Here are some of my favorite ingredients that you need to make sure to try (and are included in a lot of these recipes):

Pecans – fall is when pecans trees begin dropping this delicious nut.

Maple – although trees are tapped in the spring, maple has become a popular flavor in fall. It pairs well with many savory ingredients and is a delicious substitution for sugar in dessert recipes.

Figs – fig trees ripen in late summer and early fall. Just in time for fall baking!

Cinnamonpumpkin pie spice is popular in the fall and is mainly cinnamon with a little ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. All of these spices are popular this time of year!

Caramel and Butterscotch – these two flavors are similar the former is made with granulated white sugar and the latter with brown sugar. Both pair well with other fall dessert flavors like apples and pecans.

Pears – the peak of pear harvesting is in October. Just in time for some fall desserts!

Cranberries – fall is also the harvesting season for these tart berries. That is why cranberries are popular for Thanksgiving desserts.
