Apples: 26+ Recipes From Desserts to Dinners

I love apples! I’m way more of an apple person than pumpkin. Every year, our first fall activity is to go apple picking. That means we get a lot of apples and I end up cooking everything from apple desserts, to applesauce, to dinners featuring apples. Whether you have a lot of apples or you just like cooking with them in the fall, you are in the right place. I have 26+ apple recipes to satisfy both you sweet tooth and your savory soul this fall.

This year, we ended up with so many apples because I was planning our youngest’s Hungry Caterpillar 1st birthday party, featuring apples. Then, we just had so many apples and there was no way I could use them all for the party. I wasn’t going to let them go to waste though, so I just started cooking with them! You will find my own recipes and some from other great bloggers in this ultimate list of recipes featuring apples.
