Sugar Cookie Caramel Apple Crisp

Its officially fall and one of my favorite fall desserts is apple crisp. Its different because it has a sugar cookie crust. Its loaded with soft, sweet, caramel cinnamony apples, and it has a crunchy oatmeal topping with salted caramel on top. I'm going to go make it again cause I cant get enough!

Apple Dumplings

Its almost Thanksgiving and so I am getting ready to start making pies but I had to share my new favorite fall desert. It is one of the easiest things I think I've made in a very long time.  The outside is crispy and flaky, the apple is soft and a little tart, and the sauce, oh the sauce, its sweet, creamy, and tastes like cinnamon.

I'm sharing it today over at Sawdust and Embryos! Go get the recipe, you wont regret it!

Apple Brown Betty

I shared this at Sawdust and Embryos last week and I had to share it with you!

Have you ever heard of Apple Brown Betty? I think I’d heard of it but I had no idea what it was or what was in it. So while search through apple recipes I came upon this recipe. I was a little hesitant cause there is bread in it people. Bread. But as it turns out its pretty delicious and you’ll want more. Promise.

Barvarian Apple Torte

My husband came home from work last week and said they were having an Oktoberfest potluck at work and he signed up to bring a dessert. So I did a search for Oktoberfest and I came across this recipe. I have only heard about Oktoberfest and so I don't even know if this would be appropriate. But this dessert was a hit! It has a crunchy crust, a creamy sweet cream cheese filling, and its topped with sweet cinnamon apples. If you have extra apples you don't know what do to with you should try this recipe!

Pumpkin Apple Muffins

I am on a small quest to find new pumpkin recipes. The only ones I have are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and breads. I also need to find a use for some apples I bought to be a decoration and I am realizing that that's a nice thought but now they are going to go bad and what a waste of really delicious apples that would be. So luckily while looking for a new pumpkin recipe I found this and it not only has pumpkin but it also had apples. 

I haven't ever made muffins so I was so interested to make these. They turned out so moist and flavorful. My girls scarfed them down. It sounded like an odd combination but its definitely going to be a recipe I make again.

Glazed Cinnamon Apples

I love ice cream, its not much of a secret its one of my favorite desserts. But I am very boring, I have vanilla ice cream with caramel and chocolate sauce. I enjoy it but I decided to change things up a bit, still vanilla ice cream but with some apple topping. It turned out amazing. The apples have the perfect amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and sweetness. It might just replace my chocolate and caramel regulars.

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars

We were going to visit my cousins, who just happen to be very big boys, and the idea that I could try a recipe and not have any left over to bring home is all the motivation I need to try something new. I went to Costco and saw all of the apples and decided that an apple dessert sounded really good. This is really easy and is worth the work to cut up the apples into little bits. This is the perfect fall dessert!
