The Best Fall Dessert Recipes You Have To Try
Along with beautiful freshly fallen leaves, apple-picking, crisp weather, and cozy sweaters, fall brings with it a strong desire to get into the kitchen and bake! Fall/Autumn baking uses some of my favorite flavors, including apple, pumpkin, cinnamon, maple, and warm spices, to make truly cozy, comforting treats that make your house smell divine – usually great served with a vegan pumpkin spice latte or mulled apple cider.
Whether youโre looking for easy Autumn dessert recipes that are new and innovative or want to enjoy a fall twist on a classic, there is an option for every occasion โ like fall potlucks, dinner parties, Thanksgiving, and Halloween, or while youโre curling up under a blanket, reading a book or catching up on Netflix!
Plus, all these fall dessert recipes are dairy-free and vegan (and most of the time, you wouldnโt even be able to tell!) โ so even more of the family can enjoy them!
