16 of the Best Fall Dessert Recipes

in Food & Drink on 10/06/16

There’s so many things to love about fall! I get excited for fall fashion (duh), good hair days, beautiful changing leaves and the sweet autumn flavours. At this time of year, I love to get into the kitchen, and whip up some delicious, sweet treats. Lately, I’ve been going a little bit crazy on Pinterest, so today, I’ve rounded up 16 of the best fall dessert recipes.

23 of the best fall dessert recipes:

Apple Spice Whoopie Pies

Apple Whoopie Pie Recipe - best fall desserts, not pumpkin

Whoopie pies are delicious, fun to eat…and the name is fun to say! With this recipe, you bake up a batch of delicious apple-spice cookies, which have a cake-like texture. You sandwich two cookies together with a generous helping of cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Yum! If you’re looking for a vegan alternative on the cookie side of things, check out these gluten-free applesauce cookies from Foodaciously.

I can’t resist a good pumpkin scone. If you’re a fan of anything and everything pumpkin, I’m sure you can agree. These are easy to make and don’t require a mixer…so you should probably make these today.

These are so simple to make, as well as delicious, so I had to include them in my round-up of the best fall dessert recipes. You only need 3 ingredients to whip these together, so why not give them a try?

I’m not usually a big fan of Halloween desserts, but these are both festive and adorable. These are so cute, they’d make a perfect gift to share with friends.

Apple Crisp Trifle

Apple Crisp Trifle - Best non-pumpkin recipe for fall

Photo Credit: Cookies and Cups

I’m a big fan of apple crisp at the time of year, but I love the idea of serving it as a trifle. It helps to make the dish feel more elegant. It also gives us a reason to load on more of the crisp topping, so that’s a win as far as I’m concerned.

Pumpkin spice snowballs

While I may not be a fan of snow, I am a fan of snowball cookies. I’ve never thought to make these with a pumpkin spice kick…but I’m not going to argue with that!

Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Shortbread Cookies - Best fall dessert recipes

Shortbread cookies are a guilty pleasure of mine. A lot of people make shortbread around the Christmas holidays, but the dough is a blank canvas. This recipe spices up the dough with some fall flavours (cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice), as well as cranberry and chocolate for a hint of sweetness. These are a must-try recipe this fall.

Pecan Pumpkin Thumbprint Cookies

These cookies are essentially “fall”, but in cookie form. These pumpkin spice cookies are rolled in cinnamon sugar and then topped with caramel and a pecan. YUM!

Cranberries aren’t just for eating in sauce form on top of your turkey dinner! This is a perfect way to use up your leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving (if you have any).

I’ve been making these pumpkin chocolate chip bars for a number of years now, so I had to include them in a round up of the best fall dessert recipes. This recipe was originally posted in 2011, which in the world of food blogs, was generations ago! I made these a few weeks ago for my softball team, and hoped to have a bunch of them leftover. That was not the case. Another batch of these is a requirement, stat!

Pumpkin Ale Cornbread

I’m not sure if this is technically a dessert recipe, but hey – I’d eat it as an after dinner treat.

Apple Pie Baked Apples

Apple Pie Baked Apples - best fall dessert recipes

I love baked apples, especially when they’re jazzed up a little bit. In this recipe, each apple gets filled with pie filling and then they get topped with crumble and pie crust.

Salted Caramel Apple Galette

Best fall dessert recipes: Salted Caramel Apple Galette

If you’ve never made a galette before, you don’t know what you’re missing. I like to think of them as a lazy man’s apple pie. I recently discovered this recipe and need to give it a try. Apple galette is a fall staple, but to top it with homemade salted caramel sauce takes it to a whole other level.
