If apples are your favorite fruit (and we get it because they’re delicious), this roundup of recipes needs to be kept handy. It features four classic dessert types with apple taking center stage – apple cake, cobbler, crisp, and cookie recipes. Flavorful glazed fresh apple cookies, Dutch apple cake, apple crisp (with and without oats), and gooey apple cobbler are just a few dessert recipes that will have you picking up an extra bushel of apples.
Poor Man’s Apple Cobbler
“This is the easiest cobbler you can make in a pinch. If you have unexpected company and need a quick and easy dessert, give this a try.” – Shawna
Cinnamon Apple Crisp
“Who doesn’t love apple crisp, especially in the fall? As a dessert, serve it warm with vanilla ice cream. For a treat in the morning, have it for breakfast with some vanilla yogurt!” – Jenni
Jewish Apple Cake
“As it sits in the fridge, I find that it becomes better in time.” – Rachael
Glazed Fresh Apple Cookies
“My mom gave this recipe to me, handwritten. I had forgotten about having it. But I found it today when looking through recipes. I remember her making them in the winter, but they can be made anytime!” – Sharon
Apple Crisp Best Ever! No Oats
“I never cared for oats on my Apple Betty or apple crisp. This is delicious! For a variety, I add some chopped walnuts or pecans and substitute the apple juice with orange juice. It’s apple picking time!” – Jewel
Grandma’s Fresh Country Apple Cake
“This is my grandma’s fresh apple cake recipe. I have tweaked it but there is very little you can do to country baking perfection. I miss her dearly and this is my way of keeping her around.” – Melissa
Apple Butter Oatmeal Cookies
“After making and canning homemade apple butter, I looked for several recipes to use it in. I couldn’t find a cookie recipe that I was in love with so I came up with these. These cookies will spread when baking so make sure you chill the dough before cooking and in between batches. These cookies are sweet but not too sweet. I used Granny Smith apples for the chopped apples because of the tartness they provide.” – Lorah
Caramel Pecan Apple Dump Cake
“I came up with this recipe to take to our family get together at Christmas this year. Feel free to tweak it anyway you want.” – Jane
Apple, Praline and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
“The taste of the holidays baked into a Bundt cake.” – Lindsay
Layered Fresh Apple Cake
“Enjoy this cake quickly… once everyone tries it, it will disappear fast! No matter where my brother was stationed in the Navy, this cake was always at the top of his care package request list.” – Maddie
Double Caramel Apple Cookies
“I adapted these from several different recipes and was so proud of how they came out! Homemade caramel can be substituted by store-bought, but I love knowing these are completely from scratch.” – Chelsea
Dutch Apple Cake
“I am a recipe sniffer….which means I love to take recipes and change them to suit my tastes. This Dutch apple cake definitely did not have enough apples to please me, so I added more. It is now perfect. According to comments and reviews, this cake is better when it sits for a while (maybe overnight).” – Angie
Autumn Apple Rum Raisin Cobbler
“I started out to create a pie, and quickly remembered that I don’t like to make pie crust! So when all was complete, I decided I had a cobbler. This is not too sweet but is rich and spiced. This goes together easily.” – Cindy
Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake
“I love caramel apples and wanted to do something fun, pretty, and interesting.” – Kimberly
Delicious Apple Crisp
“Welcome to fall and the harvest season. I have been waiting and waiting for time to go to the apple orchard to get fresh and delicious apples to play around with this idea. The biggest secret here is having a variety of apples to add texture and flavor surprises. Oops, guess it’s not a secret anymore!” – Michelle
