1Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Joel GoldbergThese are soft, incredibly moist, and just sweet enough. We love them with Granny Smith apples to provide a little tartness, but any good baking apple will do! The streusel topping makes them feel like you're eating an apple crumble for breakfast, and we couldn't be happier about it.

3Apple Coffee Cake
Apples work wonders in this easy coffee cake. They add extra sweetness as well as making the cake moist and tender. We love it with Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, but your favorite baking apple will do the trick!

4Apple Pie
Ethan CalabreseEvery fall, we turn to this recipe because we think it's, well, pretty perfect. We like to fill our homemade flaky, buttery, lattice crust with a combination of apples for an irresistibly sweet-tart filling. We're being 100% serious when we say this is the BEST apple pie recipe out there.

5Apple Cinnamon Bread
Parker feierbachBursting with chunks of cinnamon apples, this bread is a MAJOR hit come fall. Gone apple picking? It's the perfect baking project to use up some of those goodies. Don't worry, you'll still have enough for apple pie too. 😉

6Crock-Pot Apple Butter
Bryce JohnsonApple butter is essentially a reduced applesauce, where the apples are cooked low and slow to become caramelized and extra sweet. Making it in the slow cooker makes this process hands-off and SO easy.

7Spiced Apple Pancakes
Parker feierbachThere's nothing like a fresh stack of pancakes on a weekend morning, and these may just be our new favorite. Topped with a sticky, cinnamon-scented apple compote, we don't even need maple syrup.

8Homemade Apple Cider
Emily Hlavac Green Homemade apple cider is one of the greatest things about fall. It's extremely easy to make and the perfect way to use up any extra apples you have. It's warm, full of spice, and just sweet enough—turn it into dessert, like our apple cider donuts, or add alcohol and turn it into a cider cocktail too.

9Cinnamon Apple Chips
Parker Feierbach Pick an apple on the crisper side to make these, like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady. Avoid softer, mealier apples like Red Delicious or Fuji—they just don't crisp up the same way.

10Instant Pot Applesauce
Park FeierbachNo standing over the stove and stirring with this insanely easy applesauce! We like ours on the less-sweet side, but if you're finding yours a little too tart, you can always stir in more sugar after they've been cooked.

13Apple Dumplings
Parker FeierbachUsing refrigerated crescent dough makes these apple dumplings a cinch to make and adds an extra buttery, flaky texture. The dumplings are essentially poached in a lemon-lime soda, which may seem a little odd, but trust us on this one: They come out slightly doughy and gooey, and the soda turns the whole thing into a sweet sauce that you can drizzle over your dumplings. 😍

14Apple Tart
PARKER FEIERBACHIn this classic French dessert recipe, you're supposed to cook down an apple compote to go on top of the crust and under the spiral of apples. Not here! We skipped the sauce completely and macerated the slices in brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla to make sure they got nice and jammy in the oven.

Ethan CalabreseStrudel is a layered pastry with a gooey filling. It can be done with all types of filling, but the most popular is apple, and this one is made even more delicious with the addition with cinnamon, lemon zest, and raisins.

Park Feierbach 18Apple Cookies
Erik bernstein These snickerdoodle-like cookies are chewy in the center and slightly crisp around the edges. The dough is infused with all the best warm autumnal spices, thanks to the shortcut superhero apple pie spice, and each bite is packed with plenty of tart Granny Smith apple chunks. On top is a drizzle of thick white icing to take these cookies OTT.

19Apple Pie Bars
Parker Feierbach When you need to make apple pie for a big group, these bars are absolutely perfect. With a no-fuss crust that you press (not roll), they're SO easier to throw together, and you can't beat that crumb topping. Drizzle them with some extra caramel or serve with ice cream for an extra special treat!

20Apple Jam
Park FeierbachGot a lot of apples and don't know what to do with them? If homemade apple pie seems like too much of an undertaking, this jam is just the thing to prolong those delicious fall apples. We love it shmeared on toast with peanut butter, but it would also be delicious stirred into yogurt or spread on top of pancakes or waffles.
