2. Air Fryer Stuffed Apples

Skin on or skin off, your favorite apples are stuffed to the brim with cinnamon-sugar oats baked to perfection in your air fryer. They make a wonderful weekend breakfast or brunchy snack, and they made my kitchen smell amazing too.

3. Apple Pie Dip & Cinnamon Chips

If you are a snacker for breakfast, this will make total sense to you. If you make it the night before the flavors will meld into a glorious thick, homemade apple pie filling just right for a sweet snack. Recipe for the simple flour tortilla + cinnamon-sugar chips included.

4. Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices

These are easy oven-baked apple slices. Top your best breakfast pancakes, waffles, crepes and more. Peel or don’t peel, you’ll have fragrant, soft apple slices in a nice syrupy glaze.

5. Apple Rose Tarts

These are pretty enough for a fancy brunch but easy enough to assemble for a weekend at home. Puff pastry makes the “petals” and thinly sliced apples and a caramel drizzle bring the flavor level up a notch from just apple pie tarts.

6. Creamy Fruit Salad

For the last 20 years or so I’ve enjoyed the refreshing crisp sweetness of fruit salad. Whether using the most in season or just what I love at the moment, something about combining fruits simply appeals to me. It makes a great breakfast on its own, and mine features Greek yogurt, whatever kind of apples I have on hand, plus other fruits in the fridge.

7. Sauteed Apples

Every bite is full of apple flavor! Deeply caramelized and thick, these fragrant stovetop sauteed apples are great as a side dish to smoked meats, meatloaf (think Cracker Barrel), or as a nice breakfast topping for chia pudding or oatmeal. Granny Smith holds up well, but use whatever apples you have on hand.

8. Cinnamon Sugar Apple Muffins

These sweet muffins only take less than 15 minutes to prep, so make an extra batch to ensure there’s enough for everyone! Dip the muffins into melted butter then coat them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sounds dreamy to me.

9. Skillet Apple Pie Biscuits

These apple pie biscuits will be a beautiful centerpiece at your fall breakfast table. They are packed with apple pie filling, cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, and fluffy biscuits. Adding chopped walnuts or pecans into the mix is a great way to give your biscuits a nice crunch.

10. Baked Apple Sweet Potato Oatmeal

Apples and sweet potatoes go together super well in hot dishes. Their flavors complement each other perfectly, and when it’s time for breakfast, here’s a nutritional powerhouse from The Natural Nurturer that is delicious and comforting!

11. Apple Carrot Oatmeal Muffins

These aren’t your typical oatmeal muffins—they’re packed with carrots, apples, cinnamon, as well as hearty old-fashioned oats. The only challenge in making these muffins is when you shred the apples and carrots. A box grater will do the job if you don’t have a food processor.

The bottom line

I really love apples, and I hope you are here because you have so many to use up, you’re ready to try anything and everything. Want even more? Check these other apple articles out:
