When I think of fall, the first thing that comes to mind is seasonal food. Autumn is the season of pumpkins, apples, and cinnamon. The following recipes incorporate all three of these delicious components into amazing desserts for you to try, along with some other cozy seasonal dishes!
Sweet Treats:
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
These pumpkin cream cheese muffins are a delicious sweet treat that will put you in the fall mood. They’re made with pumpkin butter and topped off with sugared ginger. This recipe will only take 40 minutes to make– 20 minutes for prep and 20 minutes for cooking.

Apple Pie
Fall is the perfect season for apple picking, so what better time to make an apple pie? Whether you pick them yourself or buy them from the store, apples are a necessity for fall recipes. This delicious apple pie is perfectly juicy and has an easy-to-make buttery crust. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it makes the perfect dessert for a crisp fall evening.

Pumpkin Bread
This pumpkin bread is moist, soft, and full of cinnamon. I personally recommend this because it can be eaten hot or cold and at any time of the day. Sometimes I will eat it for breakfast and sometimes after a meal. It only takes 15 minutes to prepare and then 1 hour to bake.

Hot Meals:
Pumpkin Tortellini alla Vodka
This creamy, nutty, and flavorful pasta is the ideal fall dinner. It combines cheese tortellini with brown butter and pumpkin puree to make a unique vodka sauce. If you want to make it even more delicious, you can replace the cheese tortellini with Trader Joe’s pumpkin ravioli. This would add more pumpkin flavor to your pasta and make it sweeter. Pumpkin Tortellini alla Vodka is a great choice if you’re looking for a quick dinner option, as it only takes 25 minutes to make.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
My favorite fall breakfast of all time is apple cinnamon oatmeal. This oatmeal provides the perfect amount of sweetness of a breakfast that isn’t too overwhelming on an early morning. It also only takes 10 minutes to make! The chopped pecans added on top of the oatmeal is optional, but they are a nice nutty addition. Additionally, you can slice your apples into cubes, as the recipe instructs, or you can cut the apples into thin slices.
