I’m always a little sad when the long days of summer shorten and the long dark nights of winter lie ahead, but I can’t help but be happy for all the goodies fall brings! Crisp air, cozy clothes, and comforting food. I’m not quite ready for pumpkin-flavored everything, but I am ready for apple season!
There’s nothing better than spending the day picking apples at an orchard… except maybe eating a delicious dessert made from them 😉
Apples aren’t only full of flavor, they are full of nutrients. Check out some of their stats below, as well as some other fun facts!

Lindsey @ Simply Lindsey says
I LOVE apple season! I miss living in the Shenandoah Valley for that very reason!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
My favorite food! The apple <3
Samantha @ThePlantedVegan says
I’m up in the mountains of NC this fall season, and the apple trees on the side of the road are incredible! Can’t wait to try out some of these recipes!
Ali says
I love reading your blog and watching your family’s adventures, however, the ads on your page have made it increasingly difficult for me to do so. Almost every post, regardless of computer or browser, your page crashes for me. As an avid fan, I’ll keep trying, but maybe something to look into.
Alyssa says
Ditto — it stood out to me on this post in particular, because the ads actually interfere with sections of your infographics. It’s a shame to cover up something you’ve clearly put valuable time into! Just something to think about. It makes it very challenging to enjoy your content these days. 🙁
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
I love apples! But not baked apples. It’s the weirdest thing.
Amanda says
Apples smell so much better in the fall- I love it!
Bethany @ Athletic Avocaod says
Apple season is the best season! Thanks for the great round-up of delicious apple recipes!
Kate says
currently enjoying an apple & cheddar spinach salad! I have to say, I am highly impressed with this recipe round-up. I had 6 tabs open!
Lisa C says
These recipes are just what I needed! We are going apple picking this weekend but I couldn’t think of anything to make except apple pie or applesauce. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
I eat apples almost every day, especially in the fall! I love going to the farmer’s markets and trying out new varieties. Thanks for sharing the health benefits and give me more reasons to feel good about my snack later!
Karen says
WOW! Thanks for all the recipes! I just love apples and anything to do with apples. I just need to find a good apple sangria recipe!
One word sums it all up for me: HONEYCRISP!
leatitia says
All the recipes make me so hungry! APPLE FRIES!!!
KB says
Apple fries?!
Grace says
A lot of these seem super sweet/sugary! Do you have any advice on how to keep your sugar intake in check? What do you do when you know you’ve had enough treats but just can’t resist the cravings?
Melissa | HerGreenLife says
Love all of the apple inspiration here! (I’ll admit, the first link I clicked was for apple sangria 🙂 ) We just bought a bushel of local, organic apples. Apples are on the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” list, and since the peel/skin has so much good stuff (if not chemical-laden), they’re a good one to buy organic (or no-spray).

Thanks for this excellent roundup of recipes. Yum! I’ve bookmarked several to try.
