Plus, the collection features rich jewel-toned oranges and deep reds that will look elegant on your dining room table all fall and winter. Ready to start shopping? Here are our favorite pieces from the collection, with prices starting at just $25.

Pumpkin Cocotte
Le Creuset
$386
Get into the spirit of fall cooking with this pumpkin-shaped cocotte. Not only does the shape evoke cozy, candlelit dinners, but it’s designed to accommodate soups and stews, along with a whole range of other comforting dishes like baked eggs and whole roast chicken. Le Creuset’s high quality enameled cast iron distributes heat evenly so there are no hot spots and the lid locks in moisture, preventing meat and vegetables from drying out as they cook. It's safe in the oven up to 500°F and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Pumpkin Casserole
Le Creuset
$125
This wide and deep dish is just the ticket for fall baking projects: It’s the perfect size for pumpkin and pecan pies and rustic apple tarts. It’s also a handy dish for serving (imagine this mashed potato casserole presented in a pumpkin). The seasonally-appropriate design is an eye-catching conversation starter that will surely impress your friends, whether it's the centerpiece at your next holiday party or you bring it to a potluck. Plus, it comes in elegant colors like rhone and permission that will fit in with all your cold-weather decor.
Bat Stock Pot
Le Creuset
$120
An 8-quart stock pot is a fall cooking essential, and this one is a must-have for the person who wants their kitchen to stand out this season. While this pot has tons of personality, it’s also practical: This is the vessel in which you’ll cook vegetable stock, beef chili, and kale and white bean stew all fall — not to mention a shareable pot of mulled cider to serve at your Halloween party. It’s made from quick-heating carbon steel, and Le Creuset also uses a porcelain enamel coating to keep it resistant to stains.
Bat Mini Cocotte
Le Creuset
$32
If you’re planning on hosting any parties this autumn, you’ll want to grab a few of these mini cocottes. Like the stockpot, it’s decorated with applique bats for a festive look, but it’s the size that really makes it stand out: The 8-ounce capacity is ideal for single-servings of apple cobbler or mac and cheese, so you can treat your guests to perfectly portioned meals in a stylish vessel. The glazed interior is nonstick for the easy release of whatever dish you’re serving, and because stoneware retains heat, the meal you worked hard to prepare won’t go cold before its enjoyed.
Enameled Cast Iron Apple Baker
Le Creuset
$135
$185
Although you might not have wanted to use your oven in the summer, now that it’s starting to cool down, you’re probably daydreaming about fall baking. The 2.5-quart size dish can fit apple cobblers and tarts, as well as potluck-ready portions of dips and spreads to serve at game day parties. This cast iron dish can also go straight from the oven to the dining room table.
Apple Cocotte
Le Creuset
$275
Sure to become known as your most interesting piece of cookware, this candy apple-red cocotte is designed for cooking and serving soups and other one pot meals, like a lentil and bean stew or a mushroom and leek pasta. And while it looks beautiful, it’s also hard working: It’s safe to use both in the oven and directly on the stovetop. Plus, the chip- and stain-resistant enamel exterior is long-lasting, so this pot will become a centerpiece on your dining room table for years to come.
Mini Apple Tart Dishes
Le Creuset
$62
If you’re looking for fall dinner party inspiration, look no further than these mini apple tart dishes. An adorable way to present shareable desserts at the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table, these tart dishes are made from Le Creuset’s signature stoneware. Not only is it resistant to scratching and chipping, but the material retains heat so well that your pies will stay warm even after they’ve been served.
Halloween Mini Bowls
Le Creuset
$50
This set of four Halloween-themed serving dishes comes in black cat, moon, ghost, and owl shapes. If you’re looking for a cute way to set candy out all season long, you need these bowls. But if you’re in a Halloween mood all year long, you can also use them as pinch bowls, so that your salt, herbs, and other ingredients are always within reach when you’re cooking. You can even use them as mini-bowls to set out dips like ketchup and ranch at dinner. Best of all, the glazed surface easily wipes clean with the swipe of a sponge.
Halloween Cakelet Pan
Le Creuset
$36
$25
This cakelet pan will come in handy for any Halloween parties you have planned, or just about any time your family is in the mood for an adorable spooky season treat. The 12-cup pan features ghost, pumpkin, and bat-shaped molds. The pan’s carbon steel material promises uniform baking with no hot spots to worry about, and the pan features heat-resistant grips on each side, which make it easier to remove from the oven.
