5 Classic Apple Desserts to Make This Fall

Apple desserts are always fall favorites, especially when you make them with freshly picked apples from farmers markets and farm stands. But even supermarket apples are at their best this time of year, and the prices are usually as low as they go. Here are five classic apple desserts to enjoy this season.

1) Apple Pies

Apple pie stands on top — whether double-crusted or streusel-topped, deep dish or custard-style. It’s America’s dessert. But don’t overlook other outstanding apple desserts: try apple dumplings, crisps, and strudel.

2) Apple Dumplings and Turnovers

Apple dumplings are whole apples, peeled and cored, stuffed with a sweet mix of spices, raisins and nuts, folded into pastry, and baked until the apples are soft and the pastry is golden.

3) Apple Crisps, Crumbles, Cobblers, and Brown Betties

Homier than pies, crisps and crumbles are easy to make, perfect when you’re in a hurry. The crunchy topping is simply a mixture of oats, flour, butter, and sugar.

Serve these warm, comforting desserts with vanilla ice cream. To dress up your crisps, assemble them in individual ramekins or custard cups instead of in one big pan.
