9 apple recipes for October 🍏

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

October has arrived, and that feels like a very good reason to do some apple baking.

Whether you’re in the mood for a simple cake, a warm cobbler, a batch of cookies, or a classic pie, these recipes make the most of one of fall’s best flavors.

German Apple Cake
This simple, buttery cake is lightly flavored with lemon, vanilla, and almond, with beautifully fanned apple slices baked right on top. It looks impressive but is surprisingly easy to make.

Apple Crumb Pie
A buttery crumb topping makes this apple pie a little easier than the traditional two-crust version — and every bit as delicious.

Brown Sugar Apple Cobbler
Tender apples, plenty of brown sugar, and a simple biscuit topping make this cobbler exactly the kind of dessert I want on a cool fall day.

Apple Spice Cake with Caramel Glaze
This Bundt cake is filled with apples and warm spices, then finished with a rich caramel glaze. A great choice when you need a cake for sharing.

Apple Cinnamon Scones
Soft, tender scones filled with apples and cinnamon make a lovely fall breakfast or afternoon treat.

Caramel Apple Bars
These buttery bars combine apples, caramel, and a crumbly topping for an easy handheld take on a favorite fall flavor combination.

Apple Brown Betty
If you love apple crisp, give this old-fashioned dessert a try. Apples are layered with sweet, buttery crumbs and baked until warm and bubbling.

Apple Crumb Cookies
Soft apple cookies get an extra dose of cozy with a cinnamon crumb topping. Think apple crumb cake in cookie form.

Apple Galette
For something a little more rustic, this free-form apple tart is wonderfully simple and lets the apples take center stage.

I hope you find something here that puts a bag of apples to very good use.

Happy baking!

Jennifer
