Bon Appetit shares 41 apple dessert recipes for fall baking

Bon Appetit published a collection of 41 apple dessert recipes that celebrate the seasonal bounty of apples. The recipes range from traditional apple pies and buttery crisps to more inventive options like caramel-apple cookies and apple-cheddar pie.

The collection emphasizes the use of firm apple varieties such as Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn, which hold up well in baking and add a balance of sweet and tart flavors. The guide also offers tips on whether to peel apples depending on the desired texture and appearance of the filling.

Some recipes are designed for quick weeknight baking, while others are more involved projects suited for leisurely afternoons. Among the featured desserts are cinnamon apple crumb pie with a buttery crumble topping and a Dutch apple pie combining pie and crumble elements.

The collection also includes less common recipes like apple-rose pie, which revives a historic pairing of apple and rose water, and diner-style apple pie with cream cheese dough for easy lattice crust shaping.

Bon Appetit’s apple dessert roundup provides inspiration for bakers looking to make the most of apple season with both classic and creative recipes.
