Five Exceptional Desserts for Autumn Gatherings

The gorgeous season of autumn is going to be here before you know it, and it's the perfect time of the year to start baking again after the long, hot summer has kept you out of your kitchen. If you're an enthusiastic baker, then you're probably already thinking about all of the wonderful desserts that you can make to celebrate the fall season. Here at Sweet Treat Supply, we've put together a few of our favorite fall recipes that you're sure to enjoy making for your family and friends.

Apple Crisp

If you're lucky enough to live near an apple orchard, then you already know about the wonderful smell of crisp, fresh apples waiting to be picked right from the tree. Spend a morning with your family picking the best apples for this recipe, and your kitchen will soon be filled with the most delicious scent of baking apples. Top this mouth-watering dessert with ice cream, and sprinkle on a few of these cinnamon candy chips for the perfect fall treat.

Pumpkin Bars

It wouldn't be fall without the vast fields of bright orange pumpkins that are destined to be turned into fabulous food or festive jack-o’-lanterns. These yummy pumpkin bars are perfect for a child's party or an adult gathering, and edible pumpkin confetti turns a rather basic bar into something special for the season.

Apple Pie

A warm pie fresh out of the oven is always a welcome treat, and it doesn't get any better than the classic apple pie. You can make it your own by adding your choice of fresh apples, and this handy leaf mold will allow you to place delicate, delectable autumn leaves on top of the crust for the picture-perfect fall pie.

Sparkling Cider Pound Cake

This ultra-buttery cake may wreck your diet, but it's worth the extra pounds. The sparkling apple cider in the recipe brings this decadent dessert to an entire new level, and it can only be made better by preparing it in this delightful cornucopia cake pan. Get creative with a bit of food coloring in the frosting, and you'll have a beautiful and tasty centerpiece for the table that will have everyone hurrying to get to dessert.

Autumn Leaf Cookies

These are delicious cookies with a fall twist, and you'll definitely want to allow the children or grandchildren to participate in the fun preparation. This recipe involves tinting dough with the colors of red, green, orange and yellow so that you can create the beautiful colors of the season's changing leaves, and this maple leaf cookie cutter allows you to make perfect leaf shapes every time.

Five Fall Treats You’ll Love

With the arrival of fall comes a wave of new flavors that will leave you tempted to clean out the pantry and make room for all of the delicious goodness that the season has to offer. However, with so many holidays to celebrate and football games to watch, there is hardly an extra minute of time to put toward concocting all of the sweet treats on your fall wish list! That’s why we’ve put together a list of five must-try simple dessert recipes for fall that you’ll absolutely love:

Candy Corn Cookies

It’s impossible to talk about fall without mentioning the spookiest, most sugary holiday of the year: Halloween. As a tribute to this fun holiday (and your secret candy corn addiction), spoil yourself with these decadent candy corn and white chocolate chip cookies. You haven’t experienced candy corn until you’ve had them like this: warm, gooey and surrounded by white chocolate chips and cookie. Is your mouth watering yet? Try this simple cookie recipe and your friends and family (and your taste buds) will thank you!

Mini Caramel Apples

These delicious caramel creations are the non-baker’s solution to a fantastic autumn-themed dessert. A twist on the standard-sized caramel apple, these minis are as easy to make but without the messy eating! These fruity sweets are the perfect treat for your Halloween happy hour or for the next big fall bake sale. Make your mini apples even more festive by rolling them in autumn-colored edible glitter!

Candied Pecans

One of the telltale signs of fall is seeing fallen pecans on the sidewalk and hearing the crunch of their shells as you pull up your driveway. If you don’t have time to prepare a full-fledged pecan pie for your in-laws visit this Thanksgiving, candied pecans are SO easy to whip up. Plus, they go with just about everything. Eat them by themselves, use them in your fall cookie recipes or even add them to a tossed salad! You can also spruce up any store-bought dessert with these tasty treats.

Snicker Apple Pie

This twist on a classic autumn apple pie recipe is so simple, you’ll feel bad taking too much credit for your sweet creation at the next holiday party. All you need is a pre-made pie crust and some chopped apples and snickers, and you’re practically ready to put it in the oven. Never underestimate simplicity when it comes to baking!

Ooey-Gooey Turtle Bars

These Ooey-Gooey Turtle Bars are a special treat that will have you feeling like a kid again waiting for them to come out of the oven. The combination of caramel, pecans, chocolate and heaven make these the pinnacle of all the great fall dessert recipes. The great thing about this recipe is that you can throw in just about any combination of extras you want. Butterscotch chips instead of chocolate? Easy. Heath bar crumbs for pecans? Done. These may take a little more time and effort to make than some of our other fall dessert recipes, but it will definitely be worth it!
