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.

It's definitely not too early to stock the pantry with your fall baking supplies, so feel free to come visit us here at Sweet Treat Supply. We have everything that you could ever want or need to create the most amazing fall desserts.

Pumpkin Dessert Recipe Roundup

Fall is finally here, and that means one thing: It’s time for some delicious pumpkin desserts! Whether you’ve been craving pumpkin all year long or the fall weather is making you crave some comforting pumpkin flavor, a sweet pumpkin treat is a great way to celebrate this season. We’ve scoured Pinterest and a few of our favorite cooking blogs to find some of the most delicious pumpkin desserts so you can ring in this new season with great taste.

Check out our list of favorite recipes:

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies — With pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree and oatmeal, what’s not to love about these cookies? They’re the perfect amount of sweet, not too difficult to make, and you can convince yourself that they’re almost healthy with the pumpkin and oats.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls — Could anything scream “Fall!” more than pumpkin cinnamon rolls? Didn’t think so. These cinnamon rolls come with a buttermilk and pumpkin dough, fabulously buttery cinnamon sugar filling and a cream cheese glaze to die for. While they’re probably not the easiest pumpkin treat you’ll make this fall, they’re sure to be one of the tastiest.

Brown Butter Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting — Take a moment to take in that entire name for this dessert. Brown butter? Delicious. Pumpkin? Love it, obviously. Cupcakes? Of course. Cinnamon? Yes. Cream cheese frosting? Please. We’re not sure if there’s any way to make these cupcakes tastier. They have fall written all over them, so they’re a perfect indulgence for this time of year.

Pumpkin Mug Cake — Pressed for time, but still want a delicious pumpkin dessert? This mug cake has your back. It only needs four ingredients and 60 seconds in the microwave before you’re rewarded with something warm and sweet. You won’t find any hard-to-find ingredients in this recipe, either: cake mix (might we recommend one of these CK cake mixes?), pumpkin puree, water and pumpkin pie spice.

Fudgy Pumpkin Bars with Vanilla Bean Brown Butter Glaze — If you follow us on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed how much we like the Averie Cooks blog. Well, no pumpkin recipe roundup is complete without a recipe from her. In fact, Averie Sunshine just recently released a book called “Cooking with Pumpkin: Recipes That Go Beyond the Pie.” One of our favorite recent pumpkin recipes from her are these fudgy pumpkin bars. There is absolutely nothing that we don’t love about this recipe.

If you’re looking to make a favorite pumpkin recipe at home, one of our favorite products is the pumpkin spice bakery emulsion. It’s gluten-free and water-based so the flavor won’t bake out.
