Apple Desserts Starting With…

1. Cinnamon Apple Pie Cake @ Recipe Girl

Is it a pie?  Is it a cake?  In this recipe, a cake batter is poured in and around the apples to hold it all together in the consistency of a cake, but there are so many apples involved that it can officially pass for a pie too.  So here you go:  Cinnamon Apple Pie Cake!

2. Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp @ Barefeet In the Kitchen

Warm slices of baked apples covered with cinnamon brown sugar streusel topping are all that’s required to make this old fashioned apple crisp recipe. It’s a warm apple dessert spiced with cinnamon and slightly sweetened but I don’t love eating the soupy dish that sometimes masquerades as an “apple crisp.” This fruit-filled dessert recipe is not at all soupy, with soft apples covered with just enough golden brown crunchy topping to make it perfect.

3. Milky Way Caramel Apple Cheesecake @ The Baking ChocolaTess

Welcome to Milky Way Caramel Apple Cheesecake land!  This luscious caramel apple cheesecake is toppled with lovely, gooey caramel, chunks of tart Granny Smith apple slices with the peel and rich Milky Way Caramel Bars!  The presentation is beautiful with all those popping fall colors and it tastes amazing!  Who doesn’t love cheesecake!?  Plus, you can use other apples, such as fuji or honeycrisp apples as well!

4. Caramel Apple Muddy Buddies @ Life with the Crust Cut Off

This Caramel Apple Muddy Buddy recipe could not be simpler!  It is of course delicious and has all the caramel apple deliciousness.  The apple flavor from the cereal and the dried apples is perfect with the caramel bits, yum!  I especially love that I can whip this up in no time and it makes a lot.  It is perfect for packaging up and sharing with friends, taking to football games, serving at parties, anything!

11. Caramel Apple Blondies @ Sprinkle Some Sugar

Caramel Apple Blondies! Holy delicious. Apples and caramel are just a flavor combo that are meant to be paired together. Especially in a gooey blondie! The caramel bits melt into the bars slightly making them ultra gooey, ultra caramel-y and ultra chewy. The apples also soften to add to the chewy factor and add so much amazing flavor. Obviously my favorite part is the brown sugar glaze on top.

12. Apple Rum Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Rum Sauce @ Food Wanderings

THIS, my friends, is what Apple Rum Bread Pudding is ALL ABOUT.  Just nuke the pudding for a few seconds on high in the microwave drizzled and smothered in this orgasmic sticky, gooey, sweet, highly addictive BUTTERSCOTCH RUM SAUCE and you will forget all about your troubles.

Your Thanksgiving guests and family will go crazy over it, but shhh…don’t tell them it’s easy when it comes to this apple pie recipe!

20. Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Scones @ Miss Information Blog

These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Scones are nothing short of amazing!  They are made with whole wheat flour, oatmeal, apples and spices and lightly drizzled with a cinnamon glaze.  They bake up so wonderfully.  The outside of the scone is crisp, but inside remains light and tender with the help from the diced apples.

What are the Best Baking Apples

When it comes to baking, not all apples are created equal. Here are some of the best varieties to use for your cobbler:

• Granny Smith: Known for their tartness and firm texture, these apples hold up well during baking.
• Honeycrisp: These apples are sweet and crisp, providing a perfect balance in your cobbler.
• Braeburn: With a complex flavor that’s both sweet and tart, Braeburn apples add depth to your dessert.
• Jonagold: A blend of Jonathan and Golden Delicious apples, these are sweet with a hint of tartness and bake beautifully.
• Pink Lady: These apples are crisp and slightly tart, holding their shape well in the oven.
