10 Fall Recipes Using Apple That You Have To Try
Nothing says “autumn” quite like the comforting taste of a crisp and juicy apple. According to Eat Like No One, the best time to get your hands on an apple is without a doubt during the fall. My favorite apple is no doubt the honey crisp, which you can only get during the fall. So the window of opportunity for these treats is not open for very long!
While there is no greater satisfaction than sinking your teeth into a perfectly ripe apple or enjoying it cut in slices, there is much more fun to be had with apples. We all know and lice the apple pie and the apple fritter, but give those recipes a rest this season and try something new! Here are 10 of my favorite fall recipes using apples to whip up before the season is over!
1. Apple Cookies
This combination of apple and cinnamon flavors swirling together in chewy, cake-like consistency cookie topped with a thick cream cheese frosting will be an instant fan favorite. If you’re like me, the best cookies are always the ones that are a bit on the cakey side, so these will be sure to impress.
