Apple Fritter Monkey Bread
This Apple Fritter Monkey Bread brings together everything you love about classic apple fritters in an easy pull-apart bread format. Sweet cinnamon-coated apple pieces nestle between tender biscuit dough, all baked together with a rich brown sugar sauce.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Apple Cinnamon Rolls
We love easy here, and I had to run this by you guys: a simple can of Grands Cinnamon Rolls levels up with a simple addition of apple pie filling. The icing comes in the container, and you add it like you normally would at the end of baking.
Apple Pie Filling Muffins
These apple pie filling muffins come from just three ingredients, a box of spice cake mix, a can of apple pie filling, plus eggs. You get tender, sweet muffins without the fuss of homemade.
Apple Danish
This is an open-faced treat made with store-bought puff pastry and canned apple pie filling (or make your own if you have lots of apples to use up). You get 12 danishes from this recipe, so if it’s a special brunch, you may want to double the amounts.
Apple Coffee Cake with Apple Pie Filling
You get this apple coffee cake by combining a soft vanilla cake with a ribbon of apple pie filling and a thick cinnamon crumble that bakes into craggy, golden clusters. As it bakes, the filling sinks into the batter and the crumb top gets tender and crisp all at once, then an optional glaze goes on once it cools.
Apple Turnovers
These apple turnovers use a simple can of apple pie filling, a shortcut version of a bakery classic. I like them warm for breakfast with coffee, but they hold their own on a fall dessert table too.
Apple Cinnamon Biscuit Loaf
This apple cinnamon biscuit loaf is pull-apart bread wearing its Sunday best: canned flaky-layer biscuit halves dipped in melted butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, layered in with chopped apple pie filling, then baked in a loaf pan. It looks like an all-day project but really, it’s a can of Pillsbury biscuits and about 15 minutes of dipping.
Apple Cinnamon Muffins
There is something so comforting about a muffin with a hot cup of coffee or tea, a perfectly portioned breakfast treat or snack that is all the better for being homemade. If you like a crumb topping, I’ve included steps to add it on these tender cinnamon apple muffins.
Apple Pie Bread Pudding
As a huge fan of soft, custardy bread pudding myself (rather than the super dense kind), I love it when an easy pantry item just makes something so much better. This apple pie bread pudding uses a loaf of sliced brioche bread (I think they even still sell this at Aldi) and your base is ready.
Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
Transform two store-bought ingredients into a delicious casserole bake that looks like you spent all morning in the kitchen. These apple pie cinnamon rolls use cut and quartered canned cinnamon rolls folded into a can of apple pie filling then drizzled with that little can of vanilla icing that comes with the rolls.
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:
