7. Cinnamon Apple Crumb Cake
Get the recipe for this on OMG Chocolate Desserts

8. Vegan Apple, Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp
Get the recipe for this on Hare’s Kitchen
Think of a “crisp” like a cross between a crumble and a granola with the top crust with more bite than a crumble. What makes this dessert unique is that it is naturally vegan, but doesn’t taste as though any compromises have been made with the ingredients as vegan desserts often do.
9. Apple Blondies

Blondies are essentially a white batter brownie which are dense and sweet, and somehow taste even better the next day as the flavors develop. Serve these warm with vanilla ice cream for a sweet and comforting way to end the day.
10. Apple Pie Fries
Get the recipe for this on Cincy Shopper
These aren’t your mother’s fries, but they might be even better. Store bought pie crust is great to keep on hand for recipes like this. You can serve this for a winter movie night, or as a sweet nibble with drinks before your dinner party guests sit down for dinner.
11. Rustic French Apple Tart
Get the recipe for this on Once Upon A Chef
Unlike the last, this recipe involves making a pie crust from scratch, which is the easy bit. The difficult part of making a pie crust is often the shaping and blind baking, but this recipe doesn’t involve any of the faff so is great if you don’t have much experience baking.
12. Apple Fritters

15. Apple Pie Monkey Bread
Get the recipe for this on The Pinning Mama

16. Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
Get the recipe for this on The Girl Who Ate Everything

17. Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices
Get the recipe for this on Mom Loves Baking
