25+ Apple and Cinnamon Recipes To Make This Fall

1. Cinnamon Apple Cake

Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked cake wafting through the house. And when that includes the enticing aroma of cinnamon, it’s drool-worthy.

This cinnamon apple cake packs the best of fall into every forkful. And it’s super buttery, too, so you don’t need any glaze or frosting.

This cake is so good, it’s hard to stop at one slice!

2. Cracker Barrel Fried Apples

If you’re looking for a quick fall treat, these fried cinnamon apples are just the thing!

You’ll cook apple wedges in apple juice to boost the flavor. It needs to simmer for a while until nice and syrupy.

Then, you’ll add a slurry of apple juice, spices, cornstarch, and sugar. Once that hits the hot pan, it’ll thicken beautifully.

The result is an ooey-gooey apple treat that’s perfect for snacking.

Better yet, add them to your morning pancakes or serve them with a big scoop of ice cream. Yum!

3. Deep Dish Apple Pie

Warm, flaky crust. Plump apples. Cinnamon and sugar. That’s what you need to make the best apple pie.

And this deep-dish apple pie has all that and more!

It’s impossibly thick and fruity, with so much filling, a small slice is more than enough.

This pie recipe is the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and gooey. And the warm, buttery flavors will coat your tongue with absolute delight!

4. Applesauce Cake

This applesauce cake is so good, you’ll want to make it every day. It’s rich, soft, and chock-full of warm spices, raisins, and walnuts.

I like to use a mix of chewy raisins, currants, and sultanas. And they’re extra special soaked in rum!

Of course, that’s optional, and the cake will taste amazing either way.

5. Apple Brown Betty

Crunchy, sweet, and deliciously fruity, apple brown betty is like a cross between cobbler and apple crisp.

Apple crisp usually features oats in the topping, but this version is more like a streusel.

You’ll blend flour with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then mix in butter until it forms a rough dough.

I like to add cinnamon to the apples too, but it’s not mandatory. It’ll still be nice and spiced with just the topping.

6. Easy Baked Cinnamon Apples

Craving a healthy, hearty snack that’ll warm your soul and fill your stomach? Then preheat your oven and bake these easy cinnamon apples!

These apples are so easy to make, you don’t even have to peel them!

Add caramel sauce and ice cream if you want extra decadence. Yum!

7. Apple Cinnamon Pork Chops

It’s time to get cozy. And by ‘cozy,’ I mean ‘warm and delicious.’

Apple cinnamon pork chops are insanely comforting and deliciously filling. Plus, they’re a breeze to make, so they’re ideal for busy weeknights.

The apples and cinnamon add a sweet, warm flavor that perfectly complements the savory, salty chops. 

This recipe also calls for brown sugar and heavy cream, which makes a thick and rich sauce you’ll want on everything.

The best part? This dish is ready in just half an hour!

8. Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls
