Grandma's Favorite Apple Desserts To Make This Fall

These dessert recipes are the apple of Grandma's eye.

When Grandma has apples in her kitchen during the fall, we bet she's going to be making at least one dessert with the fresh fruit. There's so many delicious desserts that star apples like Old-Fashioned Apple Pie, Fresh Apple Cake, Classic Apple Cobbler, and more. Plus, many of these apple desserts can also be enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon treat.

Whether you prefer Honeycrisp, Gala, Granny Smith, or another apple variety, whipping up one (or more!) of these apple desserts will fill your kitchen with the scents of fall. Soon, your house will small just like Grandma's!

Old-Fashioned Apple Pie

Perhaps the most classic dessert that's made with apples, this old-fashioned pie recipe makes use of 4 pounds of fresh apples. You probably already have all of the other ingredients on hand.

Fresh Apple Cake

No mixer is needed to whip up this cake that's been a reader favorite since it was first published in 2001.

Classic Apple Cobbler

Cobblers aren't just for summertime fruits. This apple version can be served all fall long.

Fried Apple Pies

While you can use store-bought dough as a shortcut for fried apple pies, we recommend making it from scratch just like Grandma does. Cinnamon sugar is the perfect finishing touch.

Apple Bread

While this apple bread can be enjoyed for dessert, it also makes a delightful breakfast or afternoon snack.

Apple Stack Cake

Grandma knows that the secret to the best apple stack cake is that it gets better as it sits. We recommend making it 2 to 3 days in advance so you can allow it to "ripen" at room temperature.

Apple Spice Cake

This no-fuss cake comes together in just one bowl and is then baked in a springform pan.

Apple Chess Pie

Classic chess pie is given a fall makeover with the addition of slices of fresh Granny Smith apples.

Caramel Apples

This 3-ingredient dessert is always fun for the kids to make with Grandma. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting 30 minutes for them to cool before taking a bite.

Apple Cinnamon Bread

What makes Grandma's homemade bread even more delicious? Adding a ribbon of apples covered in cinnamon and brown sugar to the mix.

Easy Skillet Apple Pie

Though we love traditional apple pies, one that's made in Grandma's cast-iron skillet can be just as delicious.

Apple- and- Pear Cornmeal Galette

Fall's other favorite fruit is the perfect companion for apples in this not-too-sweet but still impressive tart recipe.

Caramel Apple Coffee Cake

Homemade caramel sauce is the finishing touch that takes this apple coffee cake from good to great.

Apple Rose Tart

Grandma knows that serving apples in a tart allows the fruit to truly shine. Our recipe uses Honeycrisp apples, but you can use any crisp variety.

Apple Pie Cake

When you can't decide what dessert to make with fall apples, this recipe is the best of both apple pie and apple cake in one dish.

Apple Bread Pudding

Cinnamon-raisin bread and apples come together to create fall's favorite bread pudding.

Easy Apple Dumplings

Found in community cookbooks and Grandma's recipe box, this dessert recipe is easy to make but is still decadent and impressive. They're great on their own or even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Apple- Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

This apple bundt cake not only features a decadent Praline Frosting, but it's also filled with a Cream Cheese Filling.

Caramel- Apple Cookies

These cookies are best enjoyed the day they're made, but we don't think that will be an issue as we're sure they'll begin to disappear from the plate as soon as you set them out.

Caramel Apple Cake

Grandma knows that caramel and apples are one of fall's most dynamic duos. This cake combines both to create one showstopping dessert.

Warm Cinnamon Apples

Whether enjoyed alone or alongside a couple spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream, this simple apple dessert is hard to beat.
